  • Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. (If you have a scale they should each weigh 1 ounce.) Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.

PERFECT THUMBPRINT COOKIES | ALLRECIPES
My mother, Pauline, made really nice thumbprint cookies, but I never wrote down her recipe. I knew the ingredients, but unless you have the right proportions, you won't get that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. So, I did an image search and found a recipe that looked very similar, credited to a great-grandma named Mitzi. Since my last name is Mitzewich, that pretty much sealed the deal. In case you can't decide between a shortbread-focused cookie and a more jammy one, here's how to make both.

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375�F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and mix to combine. Scrape the side and bottom of the bowl, then add the egg yolk and vanilla, and mix to combine. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until the dough just starts to come together, about 2 minutes. It should appear a bit dry and crumbly. Add the cream and mix to combine. If the dough still seems too dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until it comes together. 4. Divide the dough into 24 even pieces, then roll each into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, staggering the rows of cookies and leaving about 1� inches between each one. Use your thumb or a finger to gently press into the dough diagonally toward the left side, then rotate your finger to press again on toward the right side, making a heart shape. 5. Transfer the trays to the oven and bake until lightly golden at the edges, 9 to 12 minutes, rotating the trays between oven racks halfway through baking. While the cookies bake, ready the jam and a small spoon (or put the jam in a piping bag and cut a small opening from the tip). 6. When the cookies come out of the oven, carefully fill the cavities with jam while they are still warm. Serve immediately or store in airtight containers for up to a week. Note: This works best with a smooth, seedless fruit preserve. Jelly is best, but if you have a particularly chunky jam, you can blend it briefly in a blender or food processor to smooth it out.
