Strawberry Bliss Drizzle Thumbprints

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup strawberry jam (or any jam of your choice)

For the Creamy Sweet Drizzle:

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp milk or heavy cream (adjust for consistency)
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Cookies:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add egg yolk and vanilla: Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
6. Shape the cookies: Roll dough into 1-inch balls (about a tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Create thumbprints: Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press a well into the center of each cookie. Be careful not to press too deeply.
8. Fill with jam: Spoon about ½ teaspoon of strawberry jam into each thumbprint.
9. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Creamy Sweet Drizzle:

1. Make the drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or heavy cream), and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust with a little more milk if needed to reach a drizzle-worthy consistency.
2. Drizzle over cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the sweet glaze over the cookies in a zigzag or swirl pattern.

Enjoy:

Let the drizzle set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy your delightful Strawberry Bliss Drizzle Thumbprints!
