Melt in your mouth cookies! These are super easy and only require 6 ingredients (ones that are typically in your pantry, not including the water). No eggs are needed! Simple and delicious!
Cream together the butter with the granulated sugar. Mix in flour and extract. Scoop out a spoonful of the mixture and shape into 1-inch balls. (The mixture will just barely come together.) Put each ball onto a cookie sheet and press your thumb into each one to make an indention. Put as much jam as you can put into each thumbprint.
Bake 14-18 minutes at 350 degrees.
Once cookies are cooled, mix together the powdered sugar with the water and drizzle onto the cookies.
Makes about 24 cookies.

is 1 Tbsp of water really enough to mix with 1 CUP of powdered sugar? Doesn’t seem like it would be enough. Just making sure before I make these.

Made these tonight. Sorry but I had to add an egg because the dough was so powdery it fell apart. Once I added the missing ingredient I have to say these were the best cookies I’ve ever made! They will definitely continue to be a favorite in my family

Amy,
I made a version of these cookies the other day and loved them. Thank you so much for posting! I added a couple of egg yolks to the batter so they were less of a shortbread cookie, but will try them your way next time to compare. Delish!
