QUESTION ⁉️ So... I just made these, and I have them in the fridge chilling until I can bake these tomorrow and I'm wondering, won't these spread due to the lack of baking soda or baking powder won't these spread???
My grandmother used to make these for holidays. She called them “Tum cookies” ‘cause she couldn’t say “Thumb”. She would roll the balls of dough in granulated sugar and finely chopped pecans and then make the thumbprint. She used raspberry jelly. They were my favorites but the recipe died with her 😔. Now, I have yours which is essentially the same. Thanks, John
Only recently found this channel and wanted to thank you. As a busy parent, who still wants to make Christmas magical and special for my kids, you and your channel have been so wonderful!
refreshed homepage and was SHOCKED to catch a fresh new preppy kitchen upload! I was just wondering what new thing i should try to make today and I guess you've made up my mind for me! I really love how accessible your recipes are, thank you!
I just made a couple batches of these and the flavor is so delicate and delicious! My first batch kept cracking and I couldn’t fix them. I went wrong by making them too big, fixed the second batch by adding a few table spoons of warm half and half (that’s all the real milk I have 😂) and they came out PERFECT!
I’ve made this recipe twice so far - first time measuring everything in volume and the second - using a scale. Measuring in volume gave me a dough which looked very much like sand - definitely too dry, so I added a bit of milk and the recipe turned out to be OK still. But the second time I used a scale, and the dough turned out EXACTLY like John’s. So I beg you, fellow home bakers - go and get the scale if you still don’t have one! Invaluable tool! The recipe itself is amazing - the cookies are sooo delicious and easy to make (although a bit time consuming, but it’s worth it). Thank you, John!
This is a family favorite! We follow an old recipe called Austrian Jam Cookies. We always use seedless blackberry or Seedless Black Raspberry and we use the beaten egg white to roll the dough in, then roll them in chopped walnuts! Absolutely delicious! Your recipe and ours are very similar with a couple of differences in measurements!
My mom made these with chopped pecans and chocolate frosting. She rolled the dough in the nuts before baking and it was my job to put the thumbprint in. We also used colored frosting depending on the occasion. Now I’m hungry!!
When I made your cream cheese cookies, I was able to make a small indent and put rasberry preserves on them, and omg, they were soooooo good! I'll have to make these next. ❤
I have a blower/vacuum made for cleaning electronics that I use to blow out flour from the motor of my stand mixer. I also use it for my hand mixer, microwave, toaster, waffle maker, food processor etc. This seriously extends the life of the appliances.
I make these every year, but use Almond extract instead of vanilla. Usually use raspberry or apricot jam. To finish I use a light dusting of powdered sugar. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Thumbprints are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. I especially love raspberry jam and the tartness of red currant. These look lovely. I enjoy watching you bake.
When I make my thumbprint cookies, I use the pointed end of an egg, dipped in powdered sugar to make the circular indent. Works wonderfully and quickly.
Thanks John. I've made this from your website multiple times for my friends and have even taken them on a plane interstate as a gift. It's always been a hit. Wonderful recipe!! Thank you very much!
THESE ARE DELICIOUS! my kids helped and everyone got their own favorite jam. Thank you for sharing your recipes with the world! You’re the BEST! Merry Christmas to you and your family 💙
i love making thumbprint cookies each year so i decided to make this recipe immediately! 😂 i also added a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract because i love it so much. I only had 1 stick of unsalted butter so i used 1 stick salted as well but i cut the additional salt down to 1/4 teaspoon. They are currently chilling in the fridge!
i tried it today, i did everything, but it was super sweet, i would recommend using 20g less sugar, but overall it was so so good, and the texture was amazing
I just made thumbprint cookies but the recipe I used didn't mention refrigerating the dough before baking, nor did I know about your adorable hack for making the heart shape. I will definitely make these using raspberry jam and caramel sauce. I hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season.
I made them today! Thank you for the recipe, it's super easy and fast, especially with a stand mixer. It's going to be my favourite recipe now! :) I used strawberry, mango, and blueberry jam
Perfect timing. I plan to bake two types of print cookies next, jam filled and chocolate kisses. This weekend I baked Grinch sugar cookies and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with nuts.
I found out this summer that we have an apricot tree, I've lived here for six years and it produced gobs of little apricots just this year and omg they were soooo good. Fingers crossed they produce a lot next year.
I absolutely love watching you and trying out all of these recipes! This one will be the next on my list! Thank you so much and keep being and doing you! You are amazing
John, you I both know that a great cake "from scratch" is best. However, my question for you is, all things being equal, which would you prefer if you "HAD" to choose: [1.) Box cake mix.......or 2.) Supermarket cake]?
I’m thinking about making this for my aunt because she is having my new baby cousin tomorrow it’s going to be a boy named James and she’s a harry potter nerd so it is named after James potter :3
They look like a bit of work...but I love jam so I think I might hafta make the effort. I probably have like 8 different jams in the fridge so I could make a nice variety.
1 cup unsalted butter softened (227g)
▢ ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
▢ 2 large egg yolks
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
▢ ⅓ cup fruit jam (strawberry, rasp
QUESTION ⁉️
So...
I just made these, and I have them in the fridge chilling until I can bake these tomorrow and I'm wondering, won't these spread due to the lack of baking soda or baking powder won't these spread???
Uhh them being really cold kinda stops them from spreading too much
@@LiterallyFactss it wasn’t an issue I had…
@@Kathrine56 thanks a lot!
I was just in my kitchen putting preserves on my toast and I thought, "what kind of cookie can I make with this?" Thank you!
@@TravisJohann115-weirdo…

John, all of your videos are the best therapy for me. I just made your pastry cream that you made awhile back, and it was pure heaven. ❤
Making the heart ones is adorable! Beautiful recipe, thank you for showing …Blueberry is my favourite too. ❤

YOU HAVE SAVED MEEE 😭 MINE WAS SO DRY SO I JUST ADDED A 3-4 TBSPS MILK AND IT FINALLY WORKED 😭
I have tried many of your recipes successfully. It's cookie time!! Thanks for sharing John

I love your teaching style. I can’t wait till your cookbook is delivered. It’s supposed to be a gift!!! But…. ❤️

How long should I leave out after the jam?
Loving the apron, so festive! 🎅🏽
Wow! I was just looking for a thumbprint cookie recipe yesterday, what a lovely coincidence 🎉
I have a blower/vacuum made for cleaning electronics that I use to blow out flour from the motor of my stand mixer. I also use it for my hand mixer, microwave, toaster, waffle maker, food processor etc. This seriously extends the life of the appliances.
The tiny spoon is so cute. The cookies look so pretty with the different jams, and I bet they taste amazing
I've always wondered how those were created... now I know... thanks John...Merry Christmas 🎄
I make these every year, but use Almond extract instead of vanilla. Usually use raspberry or apricot jam. To finish I use a light dusting of powdered sugar. Thank you for another wonderful video.
I hope we get a George and Lachlan Christmas baking episode 😊 🤞🏻🎅🏻
Heart warming and fun for the season! I love watching you making the cookies
I have made your sourdough bread recipe 8 times!!! Its ahhhhmazing 😊😊
That's just the recipe I needed to use the homemade guava jam that is on my fridge. Thanks!
Thumbprints are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. I especially love raspberry jam and the tartness of red currant. These look lovely. I enjoy watching you bake.
Great short bread recepte. I used home made rasberry jam. My hubby said it is the best short bread this year xmas baking. Thanks!
It’s like you read my mind. I got three types of preserves from a farmers market. My parents are going to love these. Thanks again
When I make my thumbprint cookies, I use the pointed end of an egg, dipped in powdered sugar to make the circular indent. Works wonderfully and quickly.
That is genius, thank you for sharing
@@leftear99 you are very welcome. Anything that makes our jobs easier, right? Merry Christmas.
I'm gonna make these. A batch for us and a batch for my coworkers. These look amazing.
Thanks John. I've made this from your website multiple times for my friends and have even taken them on a plane interstate as a gift. It's always been a hit. Wonderful recipe!! Thank you very much!
I grew up buying these for lunch at a bakery next to my school except they were filled with chocolate icing. Delicious

I vividly remember my mother making these and calling “ maggie pie, I need your thumb for the cookies” 🙏💕 oh how I miss my mother

I've not seen you make these before, thanks John.
These cookies will be added to my Christmas cookie baking day! Thanks John.

Thank you John

i tried it today, i did everything, but it was super sweet, i would recommend using 20g less sugar, but overall it was so so good, and the texture was amazing
also i used like 10g-30g extra flour, i think it depends on the type of the flour u have
I just made thumbprint cookies but the recipe I used didn't mention refrigerating the dough before baking, nor did I know about your adorable hack for making the heart shape. I will definitely make these using raspberry jam and caramel sauce. I hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season.

I haven't made thumbprint cookies in years. Thanks for the reminder. I always coated mine in crushed pecans but I'll give your recipe a try also.
I made the thumbprint cookies today. Delicious!
John, for the 20th time my family wanted me to make your thumbprint cookies. This time, I made Lemon Curd, soooo good.😊
Perfect timing. I plan to bake two types of print cookies next, jam filled and chocolate kisses. This weekend I baked Grinch sugar cookies and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with nuts.
I love the ❤-centered ones. Thinking ahead these cookies would also be great filled with melted🍫 chocolate. 😋 Making these again for Valentine’s Day🤔😊
I found out this summer that we have an apricot tree, I've lived here for six years and it produced gobs of little apricots just this year and omg they were soooo good. Fingers crossed they produce a lot next year.

Marvelous John many thanks bless to your family
You r sooooooo good. Luv yr recipies...v clear ad precise. You are just superb at baking
Yeah first viewer! love your recipes!
You could always bake them without filling and then set up a buffet of different jams and let everyone fill them ❤
They look like a bit of work...but I love jam so I think I might hafta make the effort. I probably have like 8 different jams in the fridge so I could make a nice variety.
