Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
jelly, jam or fruit preserves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, brown sugar and eggs. Add vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Mix on low as you slowly add the flour spoonful by spoonful

Using a cookie scoop (about 1 tbsp size), scoop out dough and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment.

Dip your thumb into flour, then press into a ball. Repeat until all the cookies have thumbprints in the center. Fill the hole with your choice of jelly, jam or preserve.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and on the bottom.

Let cool on wire racks.

Devour.
