Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and ½ cup of sugar. Add egg and vanilla, mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat until completely combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Set aside.
- Place remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar in a small dish.
- Scoop the chilled dough into heaping tablespoons (I like to use a cookie scoop for this step) and roll into balls. Roll the dough balls in the granulated sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets.
- Use your thumb or finger to create an indent in the center of each ball. Spoon about ¼ - ½ teaspoon of jam into the center of each cookie. Place the baking sheets back in the refrigerator or freezer to chill for about 10 more minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are set and golden brown on the bottom. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

ITALIAN THUMBPRINT COOKIES
My mom used to make these and fill them with grape or strawberry jelly. Now, I make them for the Christmas cookie trays with a red or green maraschino cherry or a Hershey's kiss pressed into the thumbprint.

7 ITALIAN CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPES YOU CAN'T RESIST
From healthy-holistic-living.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Italian Rainbow Cookies. It’s funny these appear on the list, as I always thought of these more as a cake, similar to the petites fours my grandmother often served.
- Italian Fig Cookies (Cuccidati) You might think of these as a fancy Fig Newton. Not a favorite of mine due to the seeds. However, these are nice little fruity cookies with a hint of citrus in them that make a sophisticated addition to any cookie tray.
- Florentine (Lace) Cookies. I always thought these were French, which is kind of dumb since the Florentine clearly refers to Florence, Italy. These Italian Christmas cookies are not only delicious with their crisp nuts and dip of chocolate, but they also look lovely too.
- Thumbprint Cookies. This is another big surprise as an Italian Christmas cookie. I thought these were all-American, but their origins are from Italy. I love these because of their adorable name and the fact you can make them your own choice of jams.
- Italian Christmas Cookies. These pretty basic cookies are kind of like sugar cookies, but have a hint of anise that speaks to their Italian heritage. The anise adds a taste of black licorice which I think is a love it or hate it kind of flavor.
- Anise Pizzelle. As the name implies, this is another cookie with a hint of anise. However, you can switch the flavor up using your choice of extracts from boozy rum to citrus or vanilla.
- Butterballs. This was a real surprise to me as this has always been my favorite Christmas cookie. We call them snowballs and use pecans instead of hazelnuts.
