This is such a simple recipe. Very good and not too sweet. The butteriness is delightful!
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in flour and egg until dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on a cookie sheet and use your thumb to make a divot.
Fill a pastry bag (or Ziploc bag with a small corner cut off) with jam. Fill “thumbprints” with jam.
Bake for 15 minutes until edges are slightly browned.

bakingqueen…did you melt your butter? I have found that using cold butter cut into small pieces works better than melted butter. This may be the reason your dough was sticky.

I tried this recipe after searching for a basic jam thumbprint recipe. I followed the recipe carefully and was very disappointed in the outcome. The “dough” is so sticky it cannot be rolled and once baked the cookie portion has no flavor.
