I already know that I have &#8220;baking periods&#8221; (for example, a pie period or bundt cakes period), but I have not had a cookie period for very long. Cookies are one of the things really like to make, especially because it is very easy, very fast and the result is always satisfying and tasty.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is hardly a moment in which we do not have cookies inside the jar in our kitchen, and cookies are absolutely my GO TO whenever I want to bake something quick and tasty. What I like most about cookies is the diversity they allow in flavors, shapes and sizes, and it is always a fun baking them on a rainy afternoon or just when you have a spare hour or two.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following thumbprint cookies combine two flavors that I really like &#8211; jam and pecans. These thumbprint cookies are coated with pecans and filled with jam. They are very easy to prepare, are made of a buttery melt-in-your-mouth dough that is crunchy on the outside thanks to the pecans. The jam in the center adds sweetness and makes them look beautiful and appetizing. It\u2019s simply the perfect treat on cold winter days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19142\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19142\" class=\"wp-image-19142\" title=\"Pecan Thumbprint Cookies with Jam Filling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pecan_jam_thumbprint_cookies-new2-s.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan Thumbprint Cookies with Jam Filling\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--WPRM Recipe 19148--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Pecan Thumbprint Cookies with Jam Filling<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h4>For the dough:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>175 grams (1 1\/4 cups) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>100 grams (1 stick) cold butter cut into cubes<\/li>\n<li>100 grams (1\/2 cup) sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 large egg yolk<\/li>\n<li>1-2 tablespoons water (optional, as needed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For coating:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>1 egg white<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp. milk<\/li>\n<li>100 grams (1 cup) finely chopped pecans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For the filling:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>100-150 grams (5-6 heaping tablespoons) of jam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For decoration:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>sugar powder<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li>In a food processor with a steel blade, put flour, salt, vanilla, butter and sugar and blend at high speed until a crumbly mixture is obtained.<\/li>\n<li>Add the yolk and continue to blend until large chunks of dough form.
