US and UK measuring cups differ by very little.
Here in the USA we have standard measuring cups. You can get a set cheap on Amazon that will go from 1/4, 1/2, 1/3 , 3/4, 1 cup.
I like how you encourage us to do the mixing manually. It's honestly not hard and the little work out makes me feel better about eating the desserts lol
I love mixing manually. I made whipped cream last Thanksgiving and felt like i could take on the world!!!
D/a/m/p/Sugared hands make smooth balls.
I dust my cookies with powdered sugar, my favorite filling is apricot, then raspberry preserves, Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone
If it's available where you live you should try apricot-pineapple jam sometime. It's quite delicious and the pineapple adds a nice, acidic element to the very sweet apricot preserves. It's been one of my favorites since I was a kid.
Mango jam would also taste quiet good on these
We roll ours in finely chopped walnuts and top with blackberry jam :)
Yummy
So do you roll the dough balls in the chopped walnuts before shaping into cookies or how does that work?
So no rolling in sugar? Not lacking in sweetness? I love nuts so LOVE this idea : )
walnuts with jam mmm interesting ))
The nuts make them. That’s what Mom did.
I just made these following your steps and made a video of it. You are true inspiration, probably my favorite food channel. Your recipes and videos are so easy to follow (even I can do it). Thank you Chef John!
Thank you for this, but especially all grandmothers, bless their souls.
I'll always remember my grandma's pastry!
My week is not complete until I see what chef John has made.
My week is not complete,
til I've seen what
Chef John
Has made to eat. 😋🍴
@Reina Portobanco, you ARE a poet! 😜
I made these cookies two years ago after this video was originally posted and they were such a hit that I have made them several times since (and am making them again this Christmas)! Thanks for all the great recipes, Chef John!
Those would be great with lemon curd........
OMG yessss, but only if ya make a powdered sugar blizzard to finish them !
Excellent idea!
Or orange curd... mmm...
They are!! I make these every Christmas and use seedless raspberry jam and lemon curd. They are beautiful!
Oh yes!
This is probably my favorite cookies ever. My grandmother used to make them. Will have to make them gluten-free for myself, but I seem to be able to do that to most recipes. I love sharing your recipes with others. Thank you so much for all of your time. 🧁
Oh my goodness, I ran across one of your videos the other day and now I am completely obsessed with all of your recipes! I have to say, I believe yours are the best of the best!
Thank you!
I’m not one to read into things-
But your title seems to imply you have total confidence in your viewers.
Thank you Chef.
😃👨🏻🍳
I tried 3 of your recipes So far.They all turned out to be wonderful. Easy to cook, great presentation and great taste. There is no time wasted when following your recipe. That’s how good your recipes are👍
Chef John, you are literally the person who successfully taught me how to cook when all my family and friends had given up on me! I used to survive on microwave meals because I would even screw up boiling pasta or frying an egg, now I'm serving up delicious meals for everyone and they're all like "Who are you?!". So I just wanted to say, again, thank you so much for your videos. I've been following for years, drooling over the food porn, but only recently started actually attempting your recipes, and I'm so glad that I can now! Happy holidays!!!!!!
My favorite of Mom’s many Christmas cookies. She rolled hers in chopped nuts. Been wanting to make these for years. You’ve inspired me. 🎄
I always wanted to make thumbprint cookies and when I stumbled upon your recipe... or rather, a "complete stranger's grandma's" recipe... I had to make 'em! I adore shortbread cookies, and these were not only incredibly simple and easy to make, but wonderful! I used blueberry and strawberry jams I made last summer. I did find one major flaw... the ingredients need to be doubled! These just don't last! Thank you for always adding good tips.
Add “special dark” cocoa 🍫 to the dough, THEN put a maraschino cherry 🍒 into the thumbprint!!
THEN add a TINY bit of maraschino cherry juice stirred into the powdered sugar icing, for extra cherry flavor!! YUUUUUUUM!!!! 👍❤️😉😍😍😘😘🥰🥰
Donna Norris Love this idea!!! 🍒🍫. How much of the chocolate cocoa powder to the dough? Thanks!
I just bought some special dark cocoa because out of the two it was on sale. Bargain shopper here, lol. I was making chocolate peppermint thumbprint cookies filled with chocolate peppermint ganache that called for the reg cocoa. I made a batch and they came out so good but on my next 3 batches (yep, I made a lot) I used the one you mentioned. Figured it couldn't hurt. Well I can say with certainty it did not! They were better than the first batch. I also added some orange zest to the dough not really sure if the amount I used was even going to show up but.... Omgee, it took those cookies to the next level. When I can't stop eating my baked goods that's when I know I did good... 😉
Brandy?
You did it again! I promised my hubby thumbprint cookies just this morning, and here comes another Chef John recipe with just what I had in mind hours later. Merci beaucoup!! I wanted to try doing it another way so I'll be busy tomorrow...
Greatest cooking video I ever saw. I actually laughed out loud with the Marion Barry joke! Hysterical!!!!
I just made these for my family and they were a complete hit! Thank you for sharing this recipe and for the easy instructions!
OMG this cookies are so addicted, everyone in my Family or friends who tried this cookies they love it, not to sweet, not to hard is perfect delicious. Thank's again Chef John
i just made this and it's sooo good. this dough really melt in your mouth. incredibly soft and light.
I made these today to put out for Christmas Eve. I did break out the stand mixer because I was already making cupcakes anyway and I was too lazy to hand mix these. I went for the first variation (less jam). I followed the instructions exactly in the video and they came out beautifully! The icing pattern was so easy to do too - my family is gonna go nuts for these. Thanks!
Made this last night. We knew they would be delicious, and it looked like Chef John only got about 8, so we doubled the recipe. We ended up with 38 cookies! No regrets, we ate an insane amount before they'd finished cooling. Definitely will make them again!
Next time check the description - his blog will tell you how many servings the recipe makes!
I used tangerine marmalade, and the tartness contrasted well with the cookie. It was such a pretty bright orange that I didn't bother with icing or sugar. Delish!
These are soooo wonderful. They were in the mix of Christmas cookies I made and they were adored by everyone.🥰
Seedless raspberry jam is the best for thumbprint cookies. Oh, so delicious with a cup of tea.
Thanks for the recipe! First time making them. We just pumped out 200 of these for Xmas with 7 different jelly fillings
Just made these. Very tasty. My advice: don't ice all of them, just half or so, so that you can enjoy the taste of the jam without it being covered up by icing.
i made these yesterday!!! so freaking melt in your mouth goodness!!! ty for uploading, chef John
I love your videos so much! You’re a wonderful teacher and you bring a light, fun ease to baking! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Thank you for the recipe, sir! I made them today and they turned out delicious. My thumbs seem to be odd, so I used one of my measuring spoons to create the indentations, works perfectly fine.
You did it again my friend. Made these, they came out so delicious. Your detailed tutorial helped me make my cookies beautiful and tasty!
These are actually polish kolaczki and helping my grandma make and then eat these is my all time favorite childhood memory. So simple, yet so delicious.
My mom used chopped nut as well to roll the cookies ! So glad you shared grammas recipe
It seems you have a whole assortment of freakish spoons
The freakishly small one is my favourite 😀
@@chrystalclear7557 I am partial to the freakishly medium spoon.
Pretty cool, dontcha think?
I hope that we get to see a freak show on april 1st xD
well, he is a chef
I always make thumbprint cookies at Christmas and Easter because my family love them. I really like how you decorated the first batch with the criss-cross icing sugar. It looked really nice . Thank you for the idea and the video. Cheers.
There we are! I've been refreshing my subscriptions every once in a while ever since I got the first notification.
I made 48 of these today. They're gone. So delicious. A hit at the Christmas party. Thank you for this video. Love watching your channel- you have great recipes, a fun voice, & nice hands haha!
Watched the video and immediately went and made them. They're delicious.
Thanks for all your efforts during the year Chef John, you have made me a much better cook. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and your wife.
I made these for Christmas using tart cherry preserves and they were fantastic! Some of them cracked a little around the edges, which was fine, but that's most likely on me, not the recipe. They're so simple to make and so tasty I'll be adding these to my regular rotation, not just for the holiday season. Thanks, Chef John, for sharing!
Excellent cookies. Made them tonight. I used the back of my teaspoon to make the hole for the jam. My family thanks you Chef!
Chef John, these cookies are absolutely amazing...my sister made them with me (and she is not a baker) and we made a second batch and tripled the recipe😊
Shout out to the return of “spatulate”!
Dorothy Young My vocabulary word for the day.
I already follow chef John and I’m glad to be seeing his ads I wish him the best
I made these two days ago...the BEST cookies I’ve made. I decided to use a raspberry jam and it was great. I’m making some more for Christmas today :)
Wow, this is what I wanted to make for Christmas Eve! I will definitely go with your recipe instead. Thank you Chef John!
My 5yo, "those look like cheerios... can we make those cheerio cookies one day?"
I was thinking the same thing……..
My son loved these so much Im remaking them tonight thanks chef John!!
I make these every Christmas for 45 years. Everyone Loves them
You are the Christmas wookie of your Thumbprint cookie .
Made a double batch today, rolled half in chopped walnuts, delicious! Thank you for the recipe! ❤️
oooh, chopped walnuts is a great idea!
I LOVE jam! One of my favourite recipes from foodwishes, I have made SOO many batchesI like to cook mine for 20 mins and make the jam a little gooey-er! Thank you very much Chef John!
absolutely delicious and easy to make. i used bread flour and salted butter because it's what i had on hand and it still was melt in your mouth perfection
Chef John, I am so glad i found your channel a long time ago. I now do almost all the cooking for my family, and I honestly love cooking! And everyone else loves my food. Thanks to you, I am getting a reputation as a good home chef. Thank you!
Great video, I am a thumbprint connoisseur, everything you say makes sense to me. Both versions sound like the perfect thumbprint cookies. I have two new recipes to try.
These turned out amazing! Thank you so much Chef John!
You made my favorite holiday cookie. I like to roll by dough in sesame seeds and fill with apricot jam. De-lish!!
My mom's thumbprint cookies are the best... they are crusted with crushed walnuts and filled with raspberry jam and are my favourite.
Morgan Childs My Mama too.
I am so excited to have this recipe! Chef John you are the best. I watch your videos all of the time, and after loving the fruits of your recipes my kids are now mimicking your voice when they eat....lots of fun.
So many frames... I love you, chef John!
Well these cookies definitely got a thumbs up from me 😉
ba dum tsst
My grandma used to make these with apricot jam and brie and they were amazing
Wow I made these just now n was pretty surprised with the outcome, doubled the quantity n put jam in half n Nutella in the rest! Thanks Chef, u just got a new subscriber!
I made these cookies on Christmas morning and they were a hit!
I made these today and they were awesome! Thanks!
Both sets look amazing, but the second variety really has my hunger levels on the rise
Thanks I lost my mom's recipe. The recipe is vintage, as I am now in my 70's. Love your style
Mmmm I've been making these for decades, since the kids where young, thanks to Mrs. Debbie Fields. Of course, we call them Jammers. So so so good! A Christmas staple!
Thanks for posting this recepie, my grandma used to make them all the time, they're amazing! Try them with apple jam, it might look bland, but it tastes amazing
For some extra melt in your mouth with these kinds of cookies, try adding a very small amount of baking powder to them. Like not even half a teaspoon to 200g of butter. This makes them a little bit lighter in their texture, and I think that works really well.
Also, try boiling some rhubarb with sugar (cutting the rhubarb into small pieces), and put rhubarb in these. The sour taste of rhubarb works really good with these kinds of cookies.
Those are great ideas! I especially like the rhubarb idea--I like the contrast of sweet and sour. Some desserts end up "too sweet" unfortunately
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it.
@@PicoAndSepulveda If you give those thumbprints a try, let me know how they turn out!
I needed this recipe about 2 years ago but I'm glad it's finally here.
Thank you Chef for sharing such a fabulous recipe! My 8 year old daughter enjoyed making it, it was so easy and delicious.
I fill them with guava paste as well. Delicious.
You are the Prince of your thumb prints.
I made these today, and they came out so great!!!!! Thank you
were you reading my mind this week? i have been craving these for so long! now i can finally make them!
I'll be making these tomorrow. The jammier ones, with raspberry jam.
Marion berries are actually named after the county, Marion County (in Oregon), where they were first grown! - an Oregonian 😉
trish kd - YES! For those who wonder what they taste like, they're very similar to blackberries. Feel free to substitute.
@@daveogarf My only problem with Marionberries is that any time you find something flavored with them they never put enough in, like the Tilamook yogurt barely tastes of anything, which is a shame because they have a nice flavor.
Bullshit! They're named after Mrs. Cunningham. I heard it on the interwebs.
Marion Berry. Be careful what you dust them with.
Apricot are our family’s favorite with the powdered sugar but these are so versatile. Our favorites and just want to let you know the prime rib was delicious yesterday as usual because of you! Thank you Chef.
I made these today and they are delicious! Thanks, Chef John!
I always hum along to the “and as aaalllwaaays, enjoyyy”
omg I always loved these cookies but never knew how to make them. Oh my thank you sooo much. I love your channel and not only watched it for years but have also used several of your recipes for my family. (Recently your meatballs from 2012)
It’s not intimidating at all
My mom made thumbprint cookies for the holidays back in the day...apricot preserves...so yummy
I guarantee these are great the way they are but I just made them with Bob’s red Mill gluten-free one to one baking flour, and even added light colored honey Maple sugar has the sugar! I’m pretty jazzed there in the oven! Thanks
I searched high and low for a month now for the perfect recipe couldn’t find it so I knew I had to find one that I could tweak and yours seems simple enough to tweak. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I made these today! The dough cracked a bit, but I'm sure that's because of something I did -- I don't think I incorporated the flour and butter mixture together well enough ... because I got tired of stirring. That's my fault for pulling the butter straight from the freezer. :P (Also, the fact that I used bread flour instead of all-purpose flour probably didn't help!)
Nevertheless, the cookies turned out fantastically tasty -- even with ordinary storebought grape jelly! I recommend this recipe and will try to make them again.
Vaylon Kenadell it happens but a little tip to less cracking is to roll the ball out and as soon as you roll your ball make your indentation right away instead of rolling them all out at once. I hope that helps. I also have a thumbprint cookie video😊
Oh yeah, it was probably the flour then. The recipe I had for these called for cake flour, which has the least gluten of all! This one shows that all-purpose flour can also work (and probably just fine), but going to the opposite end of the spectrum with bread flour might mess with the texture/bake
Last Christmas I tried Alton Brown's chocolate and peppermint pinwheel cookies and was sorely disappointed. This year, I'm gonna try these!
Did you throw them away the very next day?
so this year youll try these to save you from tears?
And give them to someone special...
(special)
This the best teamwork I've ever seen in a comment thread! 😂
Always enjoy your sense of humor . Thanks!
I love the look of those red cookies. So easy to make. I’ll have to try it. Thanks.
Making history one thumb print at a time
"dropped it on the table" - yeah, sure you did......
Sounds like he went back for cookie number 2! :-)and who wouldn't?.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa!!!!!
More like accidentally ate the whole cookie
I have been watching Food Wishes recipes and I was so impressed that it was acctualy about the food and not the chef, but I became curious as to who is this funny chef behind all these wonderful recipes. So I finally found a video that had the chef in it. I was not disapointed. You are just as delightfull as you sound. Thank you for your great and so easy recipes.
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely Wife! From Orange county California. Thank you for your humor and great video's .
Yessss! Those are my favorite Christmas cookies and I'm making them every year just like my mom when I was a kid. I'm so excited to see them here on foodwishes! My technique is a bit different, though, (I never thought about using a spatula for this, I always use my hands. xD and the jam goes in after the baking) and I always make a ton of them to store over the whole Christmas season. XD in Germany we're calling them "Husarenkrapfen ", because they kind of look like the buttons on a hussars uniform, or "engelsaugen" which translates to "angel's eyes". Thanks for bringing this recipe to everyone! They are truly a Christmas delight!
Maria Floruss Love the German names :)
Shouldn't the one with Marion (Barry) berries have "powdered sugar" on top?
Well played.
HAHA!!!!!
Dying! LOL
that or large granulated sugar
I dont get the joke!
thank you very much for gifting us another lovely dessert
This was lovely! Nit needing a mixer makes it more accessible as a recipe to me so Ill try making these. Love your vids!
