Method
Step 1:
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C/gas mark 4). Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking parchment.
Step 2:
Beat together the softened butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy.
Step 3:
Add in the beaten egg and mix until combined before adding the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix together until a soft dough is formed.
Step 4:
Roll the dough into small balls (approx. 3cm diameter) and place onto the baking trays, leaving a gap for the biscuits to spread in the oven. Gently press the centre of each biscuit with your thumb to create a hollow in the centre.
Step 5:
Add approximately ½ tsp of jam to the centre of each biscuit or until the hollow is filled.
Step 6:
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until very lightly coloured. Leave to cool before moving to a wire rack.

Recipe Reviews
I made them with my 5 year old son. We really enjoyed this easy and truly delicious recipe.🧚🏻♀️
The only change I made is instead of 200g of sugar I used 150g. Raspberry jam balanced out the sweetness.
Totally easy recipe to bake with twin 4 year old boys. We made our biscuits super-sized and they came out delicious!
Really delicious, I kept showing off to my friends how beautiful and tasty they were.
Such an easy recipe to follow!! I'm not much of a sweet tooth so I reduced the sugar to 175g instead 200g and it's still a little bit more on sweet side. Especially with the raspberry preserves I've used. Next time I'll probably reduce it to 160g. It's amazing!!
This is such a quick and easy recipe yet the results are wonderful. Everyone who tries them loves them. I ABSOLUTELY recommend making them.
Excellent cookies. Slightly crisp outside and chewy inside and a pleasant sweetness. I've tried tons of thumbprint cookies and these are the best.
