  • Make a small indentation with your thumb or index finger in the center of each cookie. Fill the indentation with about 1/8 teaspoon of jam.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Let them cool for minutes on the cookie sheet, and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
