主题：【原创】礼轻情义重 – 请君笑纳！ -- GraceUSA

年底了，家里的烤箱就没闲着。做了很多小点心送同事、送朋友、送邻居。这个果酱奶油酥是昨天晚上做的，今天早晨装袋送给和我家小葛carpool的几家人。

有些人和你关系不是特别亲近，但你又想在这个特殊季节表达你的心意，那么自己动手做点心送过去不失为好主意。因为这个礼轻，对方收了也不会有压力，不用惦记还礼；因为是你自己做的，收礼的人会觉得很贴心。其实送什么不重要，表达对他们的感激和祝福才是主题。

这个帖子我特为赶制的，为来此访问、潜水、发言的朋友们，请君笑纳。

祝各位新年快乐 健康如意！

去年圣诞的时候我做过这个点心，很受欢迎。 方子是food network上的，材料和步序都不复杂。我转贴在此，有兴趣学做的网友不妨在圣诞假期练习。

Recipe Summary

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 32 cookies

Jam Thumbprints

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut

Raspberry and/or apricot jam

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until just combined, and then add the vanilla. Separately, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. (If you have a scale, they should each weigh 1-ounce.) Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.
