FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

How to keep cookies soft and gooey?

Ne les fais pas trop cuire—sors-les quand les bords commencent à peine à dorer. Utilise du sucre brun et du beurre pour plus d’humidité. Conserve-les dans un contenant hermétique.

Can you use jelly in thumbprint cookies?

Yes! Both jelly and jam work well. Jam with small fruit pieces gives more texture, while jelly melts smoother. Just avoid runny fillings to prevent leaking during baking.

What is the best jam for filled cookies?

Thicker jams like raspberry, strawberry, or apricot work best. Choose one with bold flavour and low moisture to keep it from running. Homemade or good-quality store-bought jams are ideal.

How do you keep jam from leaking in cookies?

Use a thick jam and don’t overfill. Chill the dough before baking so it holds its shape. You can also partially bake the cookies before adding the jam to reduce spreading.

How to store jam-filled cookies?

Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them or freeze in layers with parchment paper.
