Glazed Blueberry Pie Thumbprint Cookies

Buttery shortbread cookies are filled with a homemade blueberry pie filling and drizzled with tons of glaze.—it’s impossible to only eat one of these thumbprint cookies!

Me over here trying to decide if blueberry pie thumbprint cookies qualify as breakfast…

Also me: Gotta get my fruit servings in. Cookies it is!!

Thumbprint cookies are kinda a sacred cookie in my family, guys. My mom would always make them EVERY spring and since I took over in the cookie department a few years I’ve fun-ed up her recipe quite a bit.

Hence, the fact that there’s blueberry pie filling + glaze hanging out in these little gems.

My mom would always just fill her thumbprint cookies up to capacity with jam but I like my cookies a little more complicated clearly.

And clearly that filling + glaze is just the prettiest thing and so worth it.

Honestly though, these cookies aren’t really that complicated as far as a pretty dessert goes. >>

Three steps: Shortbread thumbprint cookies, blueberry pie filling, glaze. The dough for the cookies does require a chill time but during that time you can totally whip out the filling and the glaze to make use of time.

Also, this shortbread cookie dough is a KEEPER recipe and you can even make it ahead and store it in the freezer! It’s buttery, soft and chewy, and beyond perfect. Keep this recipe forever!

Maybe just eat these cookies forever? Better plan.
