Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Your favorite jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or spiced apple)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the eggnog and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Scoop about two tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon to create an indentation in each ball for jam.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Once out of the oven, fill each thumbprint with your favorite jam while warm.
- Transfer cookies to plates and let cool before indulging.
