Raspberry Shortbread Thumbprints, Christmas Cookie #2!


Raspberry Shortbread Thumbprints (a favorite in our house!)

2/3 cup of organic cane sugar
1 cup softened organic butter
1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract (why I use organic vanilla- because non-organic contains a lot of EXTRAS. Check next time you buy, you'll see!)
2 cups unbleached white wheat flour
1/2 cup organic raspberry fruit jam (or other fruit)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray cookie sheets with grapeseed oil spray. Beat sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl. Add flour and mix well. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Make thumbprints in each ball and fill with 1/4 teaspoon jam. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
