These chewy condensed milk thumbprint cookies with raspberry jam are quick and easy to make, featuring simple pantry staples and a soft, chewy texture with a sweet-tart burst of jam in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup (100 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup (about 110 g) raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream ½ cup softened unsalted butter and ¼ cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 g) of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making roughly 20-24 cookies.
  7. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball to create a well for the jam.
  8. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indentation, being careful not to overfill.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easier mixing. Press thumbprints gently but firmly to prevent jam overflow. Dough can be refrigerated overnight; bring to room temperature before shaping. Watch cookies closely near end of baking to avoid drying out. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour and ensure baking powder is gluten-free. Dairy-free options include coconut oil and dairy-free condensed milk.
