Apricot Thumbprints

These shortbread-type cookies are SO easy to make and SO delicious!!


Heat oven to 350º - have baking sheets ready lined with parchment. If you choose to NOT use parchment, there's no need to grease the sheets.

Thoroughly combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl:

1 cup softened butter
2/3 C. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour

(That's IT!!)

Roll into balls (just under 1") leaving a little space between each (they don't spread while baking) - I get 20 on each sheet.

Using your finger or thumb, make a dent in the center of each ball but don't smoosh it all the way down!  Fill each dent with a half tsp. (or mound it higher!) of Solo apricot filling (we love raspberry too) or whatever flavor you like.

Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the edges are a light golden color.
Remove from oven, cool and then dust with powdered sugar.
