Thumbprint Cookies

To start, make sure you have enough time. Shortbread cookie dough typically needs to chill for a very long time. You also need the cookies to cool for 30 minutes after baked before glazing, so plan accordingly.
After you mix up the dough, it will be quite soft and buttery. Shortbread cookies are supposed to be buttery, so if your dough feels extra buttery – you’re on the right track. Then I placed balls of the dough onto a baking sheet that were about an inch tall. Than I took my thumb and pushed down on the tops of the cookies to give them the indent they needed. Then I placed the jelly into the cookies holes and placed it into the oven to bake . 
Now for the filling that was very easy to make. It consisted of powder sugar, flour, and a little vanilla extract.  It took me a while to get it not to be too runny so I added a little but lore flour to it. Then when the cookies were done baking I placed them on a late and drizzled the filling over top of them. They tasted delightful and were very sweet.
