What to do with 20 pounds of blackberries? Part 3

Ok, maybe I should've titled this: What to do with a gazillion pints of jam? When I think of jam, I think of THUMBPRINT COOKIES!



I made a lot because they are freezable and yummy, and I gave some to different people.

Here is the recipe:

• 2 cups of butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces), room temperature
• 1 cup of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 4 cups of flour
• Any flavor jam

Directions:

• Mix butter and sugar together with mixer until creamy and well blended.
• Separate the egg whites from yolks. Dispose of whites and mix yolks and vanilla in with butter mixture.
• Add flour and salt to mixture and blend.

• Make flat 3" discs with the dough. Press down in the center and add jam into indent. I don't use my thumb because it just seems a little dirty with long fingernails. Instead, I use a small teaspoon. 

• Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350.
• Makes about 4 dozen

They were delicious!
