These No Bake Thumbprint Cookies are a quick and delightful treat combining creamy peanut butter, crunchy granola, and sweet jam. With no oven required, they make for an easy, fuss-free dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 and ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup honey nut granola, with big clumps broken up

Filling

  • ¼ cup raspberry jam (or other red jam of your choice)

Instructions

  1. Cream peanut butter and butter: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until the mixture is light and creamy.
  2. Combine powdered sugar and granola: Gradually stir in the powdered sugar and broken-up granola until the mixture forms a soft dough, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Shape cookies: Roll the dough into 24 evenly sized balls and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray. Using your thumb or the back of a greased spoon, press into the center of each ball to create a small indentation.
  4. Fill with jam: Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam into each indentation, filling the thumbprint well without overflowing.
  5. Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill the cookies for at least 1 hour or until firm to the touch.
  6. Store: Keep the cookies stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and firmness until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberry jam with other red or fruit jams such as strawberry or cherry for varied flavors.
  • Ensure the granola is broken into chunks to provide texture but is not too fine for best results.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can mix the peanut butter and butter by hand with a sturdy spoon or electric hand mixer.
  • Keep cookies refrigerated, especially in warmer climates, to prevent the butter and peanut butter from softening too much.
