These thumbprint cookies are filled with a homemade strawberry jam and made with a classic sugar cookie dough base.

They are a great treat to bake and share around Valentines’ Day or on the regular to have with a cup of tea. For a unique twist, try using blueberry, apricot, orange or even pineapple jams!

Thumbprint cookies are usually made around the holiday season but I like to make them for Valentine’s Day because there are already way too many holiday cookie options as is and adding one more onto the plethora of options I already have would simply make me go cookie crazy.

Another reason why I like to make them around this time of the year is because berries start to get a little cheaper around this time of year! I put my homemade jam in the middle of them instead of using one that’s store bought.

We actually make a batch of jam in the summer during berry season but it never seems to last until the new year because we just can’t get enough of it.

What is a jam that you can’t get enough of? Mine has definitely got to be strawberry!
