STRAWBERRY THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Buttery and soft cookies are filled with sticky star anise infused strawberry jam. It's a super easy yet unique thumbprint cookies recipe that takes no time to put together. It's perfect for Christmas or any holiday, but I always make a few dozen to snack on after dinner.

Steps:
- Combine the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Smash the strawberries into the sugar using your hands to release the juices. Add the star anise.
- Heat the strawberry mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until bringing to a boil. Turn to medium-low heat. Let simmer, stirring and mashing regularly, until the strawberries are fully broken down and the jam is thick enough to not run back immediately when stirred, 20 to 30 minutes. You can skim with a spoon to remove the foam, if you want the end result to have an even, bright color.
- Transfer the jam to a heat-proof container and let cool completely.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a big bowl. Whisk with a wooden spatula until the sugar is fully incorporated and fluffy, with a white color, 5 minutes or so. You can also use a handheld mixer for this process.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat the egg until fully mixed.
- Add the flour. Mix until it forms a smooth dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer 1 heaping teaspoon of dough into your palm. Roll it into a dough ball with your hands. Place it onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat the process, spacing out the dough balls with 2" (5cm) between them. You might need to bake the cookies in two batches.
- Use your finger to gently press the cookie dough balls, one at a time, to form a bowl shape to hold the jam.
- Once you form a batch of cookies, let it chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 °F (176 °C).
- Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until fully cooked through and the edge of the bottom turns light golden. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool until they firm up.
- Place 1 teaspoon of jam onto the center of each cookie and lightly press it with the spoon. Serve and enjoy!

PERFECT THUMBPRINT COOKIES
My mother, Pauline, made really nice thumbprint cookies, but I never wrote down her recipe. I knew the ingredients, but unless you have the right proportions, you won't get that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. So, I did an image search and found a recipe that looked very similar, credited to a great-grandma named Mitzi. Since my last name is Mitzewich, that pretty much sealed the deal. In case you can't decide between a shortbread-focused cookie and a more jammy one, here's how to make both.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix butter and powdered sugar together with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and egg yolk. Mix with the spatula. Add flour and blend until just combined.
- Use a sorbet scoop to portion dough into 1/2-ounce (1-tablespoon) balls. Roll balls in a plate of white sugar to coat; roll again between your palms. Place several inches apart on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Flatten balls lightly with your fingers.
- To make shortbread cookies with a little jam, poke a well into each cookie using the end of a thick wooden spoon dusted with powdered sugar or using one of your fingers. Fill cookies with fruit jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter to let jam settle.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are barely blonde and bottoms are slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before icing.
- Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar with a little milk until you have a consistency that will hold its shape when piped. Pipe icing on top of cookies in a zigzag pattern. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
- For a more jam-forward cookie, press your thumb into the cookies to make large, shallow indentations. Spoon in jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter.
- Bake until not quite golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let rest on pan for 5 minutes before transferring a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar.
