PERFECT THUMBPRINT COOKIES
My mother, Pauline, made really nice thumbprint cookies, but I never wrote down her recipe. I knew the ingredients, but unless you have the right proportions, you won't get that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. So, I did an image search and found a recipe that looked very similar, credited to a great-grandma named Mitzi. Since my last name is Mitzewich, that pretty much sealed the deal. In case you can't decide between a shortbread-focused cookie and a more jammy one, here's how to make both.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix butter and powdered sugar together with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and egg yolk. Mix with the spatula. Add flour and blend until just combined.
- Use a sorbet scoop to portion dough into 1/2-ounce (1-tablespoon) balls. Roll balls in a plate of white sugar to coat; roll again between your palms. Place several inches apart on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Flatten balls lightly with your fingers.
- To make shortbread cookies with a little jam, poke a well into each cookie using the end of a thick wooden spoon dusted with powdered sugar or using one of your fingers. Fill cookies with fruit jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter to let jam settle.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are barely blonde and bottoms are slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before icing.
- Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar with a little milk until you have a consistency that will hold its shape when piped. Pipe icing on top of cookies in a zigzag pattern. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
- For a more jam-forward cookie, press your thumb into the cookies to make large, shallow indentations. Spoon in jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter.
- Bake until not quite golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let rest on pan for 5 minutes before transferring a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar.

- Using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour and beat just until combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be soft at this point so cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour or until firm enough to easily roll into balls.
- Take dough out of the fridge. Roll dough into 3cm balls, the size of 1 tablespoon. Place onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5cm apart. Use your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon to make an indentation into the center of each cookie, and fill with about 1/2 teaspoon jam.
- Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes, or until cookies appear golden brown at the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
