7 Reviews of Jam Thumbprints

I made these cookies this past xmas; if I'd known the recipe was here at Zaar I'd have rated it earlier! The only problem I had was that the balls often fell apart while I was rolling them; it all worked out in the end but it was frustrating. I also found them fussy to prepare and so wouldn't make them often. One tip from the tv show I watched where she made these — she used her digital scale and recommended that each ball weigh exactly one ounce, and so I got out my scale and followed her advice. I did like the taste of the coconut on the outside of the cookies and also think they are quite attractive. I also recommend you not put all your coconut out at once, as you likely won't use the entire amount listed (I didn't). I made these up with seedless raspberry jam and apricot jam and everyone seemed to like them. Thanks for posting!

These are just terrific - I love them, and they always get rave reviews. The instructions to weigh the cookie portions are very helpful - I get exactly the number of cookies I expect.

Look NO further!!! I don't even LIKE coconut! These are buttery goodness from heaven. When I saw the episode on tv I knew they would be a winner. I just froze my second batch tonight!

So delicious and pretty! They were a bit more work than cookies I usually make, but they are well worth the effort. I used Hero raspberry jam. I warmed it in the microwave and strained out the seeds. One jar was the right amount. I also used my cookie scoop. Next time I will chop the coconut into smaller pieces in hopes that it will lay flatter on the cookie. Thank you!
