- Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons rubbed dry sage
- 1 roll (16.5-ounce) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, well chilled
- 1/2 cup blackberry preserves or jam
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the sugar and sage in a small dish; set aside.
Cut cookie dough into 12 equal slices. Cut each slice in half. Roll each piece into a ball; roll balls in sugar mixture. Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden at edges. Remove cookies from oven and immediately make a depression in each cookie with thumb or cork; fill each with a teaspoon of jam or preserves. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely.
Makes 24 cookies
Recipe Notes:
If you'd like a cookie that's a little less sweet, cut back on the amount of blackberry preserves on each thumbprint.
