Festive Jam Wreath Thumbprint Cookies 🎄🍓
These holiday cookies are buttery, melt-in-the-mouth, and filled with glossy, fruity jam crisp at the edges, tender in the center, and beautifully decorated for the season. Perfect with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
Ingredients:
Unsalted butter, softened
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
All-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Raspberry or strawberry jam
Green and red icing (or colored buttercream)
Steps:
Cream the butter and powdered sugar until light, fluffy, and silky smooth.
Mix in vanilla, then gently add flour and salt to form a soft, tender dough.
Roll the dough out and cut into round shapes with a center cut-out.
Bake until lightly golden and delicately crisp around the edges.
Fill the centers with juicy jam while the cookies cool.
Decorate with green icing to create a wreath effect and finish with red berry details.
These cookies smell warm and buttery as they bake, with a sweet, fruity bite that feels like pure holiday comfort.
