It’s always fun to make thumbprint cookies, isn’t it? This is my third experiment with the blueberries I discovered at our local bazaar this summer. After this微酸的蓝莓果酱, I knew I had to keep making something sweet with these charming berries! I’m definitely in love with the color of these berries, so I wanted it to stand out in my new attempt. Can you think of a better way than thumbprint cookies to see that vibrant color? If you love to play with foods with such a charming color as much as I do, you should try this recipe!

I used whole wheat flour in these thumbprint cookies and didn’t see a difference in flavor. I loved the brownish texture even more! You can fill them with whatever you like, but I must say that they become divine when topped with that amazingly red blueberry jam!

I made the jam myself, but in a very small amount, just enough for the cookies. If you’re looking for a complete recipe for bluebery jam to preserve in jars, check out thisBlueberry Jam Recipewith step by step pictures.
Whenever I make something with blueberries, I remember scenes from Dexter! I LOVE to play with these berries bare hands!

I filled my thumbprint cookies after baked, so the jam topping didn’t lose any color and the flavor was tangy and refreshing. Fill the cookies with a generous amount of jam, the more the better!

这不是一个太香甜可口,因为我们不喜欢cookies that way. I didn’t want to kill the plain flavor of blueberries with sugar, so I used just ¼ cup sugar for cookie dough and 1 tablespoon sugar for the jam filling. You can increase the amount of sugar if you like it sweeter.

These thumbprint cookies are of a very well balanced combination of sourishness and sweetness, so you might want to hide these even from your family! We couldn’t help licking our fingers when taking these pictures and I regret making the jam that little.
