Roll walnut sized balls of the dough into the palm of your hand to form each cookie, then arrange on 2 large baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Press your thumb gently down into the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Spoon a scant teaspoon of jam into each indentation.
Bake cookies until golden brown and just firt maround the edges, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, then, serve immediately or store between layers of waxed paper in an air tight container.
