Parmesan Thumbprints with That Dam Jam (makes 50 appetizers)
1 cup butter at room temperature cut into large chunks
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup of finely grated hard cheese ( parm, romano, grana padano, provolone)
Jar of your favorite That Dam Jam
Preheat the oven to 350 and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper
Mix butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and creamy
Add flour and cheese. Mix for 5 minutes on low. You can divide and freeze dough at this point if you do not want to make all 50 at one time.
Using a teaspoon melon baller or cookie scoop take out dough and roll into balls.
Place 25 on each cookie sheet (they do not spread) and put an indentation with your thumb or spoon in each cookie.
Bake for 10-11 minutes, they will be brown on the bottom but not on the sides.
Let cool. When cool add a small amount of your favorite TDJ in the center right before serving.
