Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- One 3.9-ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup mayhaw preserves
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream soda
Instructions
- For the thumbprint cookies: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and pudding mix together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Add the flour and salt, beating at low speed until a dough forms.
- Put granulated sugar on a plate. Roll the batter into 1-inch balls, then roll through the sugar and place on the lined cookie sheet. Make a thumbprint in the center of each.
- Bake until firm to the touch, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack immediately and let cool completely.
- Fill each thumbprint with the preserves.
- For the cream soda glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar with the cream soda in a small bowl until smooth, white and shiny. Drizzle glaze criss-crosses over the cookies and let dry completely, about 20 minutes.

Reviews
These were both delicious & a good use for leftover pantry ingredients. I didn’t have any mayhaw jelly, so I used Giada’s fig jam, & they were still amazing!
Cookies are delicious and you could experiment with flavors using different pudding and jam flavors. I made the chocolate and mahaw, but also had vanilla white chocolate pudding so I made another batch and used Morello Cherry preserves. Now I want to try using pistachio with cherry jam and vanilla drizzle for “Spumoni” cookies. Or lemon pudding with lemon curd and lemon drizzle. The possibilities are endless!
These were excellent!!! The chocolate cookie was wonderful and I love mayhaw jelly!!!
