Prepare the Jam
Let all ingredients simmer on a low flame for about 20 minutes until it looks like it’s getting sticky. Turn off the flame and let it cool.
This recipe is very simple and the dough can be used for many different desserts. Great for Passover or a gluten-free cookie all year round. I (Tzippy) used it to make a pie with the strawberry jam filling and a sliced plum topping! Delicious! The sky’s the limit, but try our favorite version, the strawberry thumbprint cookie. Follow Sweet Sisters Shabbat Treats for more yummy, kid-friendly recipes.
Contains: Tree nuts, Egg
Let all ingredients simmer on a low flame for about 20 minutes until it looks like it’s getting sticky. Turn off the flame and let it cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Form balls of dough into circles and then make a thumbprint in the middle: they can be as big or as small as you like.
Use a teaspoon to place some jam in the thumbprint of the cookie.
Put on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until it no longer looks raw. Let cool before biting in!
Notes:
You can freeze the prepared dough balls unfilled for up to two months. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator, then fill with jam and bake.

Can I use tusscanini fruit preserves instead of making the jam if I don’t have time?
For sure! Great hack.
Hi, what are the instructions for making the cookie dough? The instructions for the cookies only start after the dough is made. Thanks
You're right- for the dough, just combine all the ingredients!
