very good. i doubled this recipe. i used raspberry jam instead and i cooked them for 5 minutes, took them out, did the thumbprints, put the jam in, and placed them back in the oven for 10 min. I cooked them at 300 instead of 350 so the jam didnt run over. Instead of walnuts, I made a glaze from 2/3 c. confectioners sugar and 2 Tbsp. Milk. This made it really good. Overall a really nice recipe.

A family favorite at Christmas. Our favorite jam filling is lime.

These were fantastic! A tad time consuming but very much worth it. My 88 year old grandma who is the cookie queen even asked for this recipe and raved over them which made me feel so good!!

My family and friends love these cookies! I,however, use 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. almond extract. this adds just a little more flavor to an already great cookie!

I made these with pistachios and raspberry seedless jam. I refrigerated the dough for a couple of hours so they were easier to handle. And instead of rolling the balled dough in nuts, I rolled into balls, created the imprint, brushed with egg yolk and sprinkled the finely chopped pistachios on top. They were delicious and my mom keeps asking me to make them every time the subject of cookies comes up!

I found this recipe when looking to use up some jam, but I gotta tell you that mine were crumbly and then trying to transport them to church did not make for a great presentation. The taste was ok and it could be something I did so I will give it a four and mention that this cookies does not travel short distances well.

These were delicious! I made them for a wedding shower and got lots of compliments. Like other commenters, I added the jam before baking, and the tip to put the jam in a plastic sandwich bag and cut off the corner for filling the cookies was a HUGE help--probably cut the prep time in half. I also added about two tsp. of fresh rosemary to the batter, using apricot jam for half of the cookies and raspberry for the other half. I will definitely make these again.

Delicious recipe! I think it would be even better to make the balls smaller and use a raspberry filling. I ended up pulling the cookies out before they were done and using a scoop to press a deeper hole in the middle and I filled them with the jam and returned them to the oven to let it jelly a little and it made them even yummier! I used a sandwich baggie filled with the jam and snipped off the end to fill the holes and it was so easy.

These cookies are a great festive holiday cookie: easy to make, but look gourmet! I use stainless steel pans (and a stainless steel spatula) and haven't had any problems with sticking.

i am not a great baker, so i think that is why i didnt end up enjoying these. they were too salty for my tatse- i could of added in more salt then was called for by mistake, though my boyfreinds mother ate them all up and said they were delicious! and asked me to bake her some more. so thats why i give them a 4 star instead of a 5.

These were good tasting but way too crumbly. It was hard to get them off the pan...and i use a nonstick one. even just biting into a cookie causes it to break..maybe the dough needs a little more liquid. i would not make them again

Really good and very tasty. I added 1/2tsp almond extract and added the jam before baking. Everyone really liked them and they dissapeared very quickly. I also took the advice from one of the reviews to use the top of the lip balm to make the hole, I dipped in flour before and it worked very well. I will definately make this again.

I used grape jelly, and orange marmalade to fill my cookies, and I filled them before baking. Just make sure to make the indentation very deep in your cookie, and you shouldn't have any jelly overflow. I used pecans instead of walnuts.Made these last night after everyone went to bed, and they are almost gone already! They are so yummy.

These are great. definitely need the walnuts. I also put in the jam and cooked it for the whole time. It worked great and helped the jam to set. I had made nice deep holes using the end of a chapstick container, so there was no running at all. Very pretty cookies. great to offer at Christmas.

Very good cookies and easy to make. I did put the jam in before baking. I also doubled the recipe and only got about 40 cookies (not very big - about 1" round balls). They also took about 22-24 min to bake.

Delicious! I put strawberry jam in halfway through cooking, but otherwise followed recipe exactly. I tried leaving out the egg whites and walnuts in a few but just found that the cookies tasted bland and looked boring.

My sister and I made these wonderful cookies, and they turned out just perfect! I highly recommend these cookies to everyone. They are extremely tasty and quite easy to make. I do advise putting the jam/preserves in the cookies before baking them. I will definitely make Jam Thumbprints again and again!
