Who's Aunt Maggie?

As I scarfed down the last gingersnap yesterday, I frantically looked in my recipe books for a new cookie recipe to make. What pregnant woman can be without cookies lying around? I found this recipe for Aunt Maggie's Jam Thumbprint Cookies. Always looking for a new way to enjoy my homemade raspberry rhubarb and strawberry rhubarb jams, this cookie seemed like the perfect one. And it is. Three sticks of butter later...YUM! Here is the recipe if you'd lilke to treat yourself:

24 tablespoons (3 STICKS) room temp. butter

1 cup sugar

1 large egg

3 1/4 cups flour

jam (any type)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg and beat until completely combined. Add flour until incorporated.

2. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on cookie sheet ay leats 3 inches apart.

3. Press the center of each ball about 1/4 inch deep. Add 1/2 tsp of jam to each cookie.

4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

Thanks Aunt Maggie whoever you are!
