Jam Drops – also known as thumbprints – are a simple cookie to make. They are great for a beginner cook or a child as the dough is a basic pastry and the filling is made from jam.<\/p>\n

\"Jam<\/p>\n

My 10 year old made these for a school Valentine’s Day marketplace. Instead of using her finger to make a hole, she pressed a plastic heart shaped button into the dough. It was very cute, and perfect for her Valentine’s Day store.<\/p>\n

\"Stack<\/p>\n

I like to make these for school lunch boxes or travelling as they hold together very well. I can attest that they held up very well in a back pack on a recent plane flight!<\/p>\n

\"Jam<\/p>\n

They adapt well for gluten free cookies. This batch has been made using Namaste Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend. Depending on who is going to eat these, I use either regular wheat flour or gluten free flour.<\/p>\n

\"Jam<\/p>\n

This batch makes about 24 cookies.<\/p>\n
