Instructions

Prep and start cookie dough
1
  • Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Zest clementine.
  • Open one side of the package of pecans. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush pecans in their package until broken into small crumbs (or finely chop if you prefer). Add pecans to a shallow bowl.
  • Add cranberry spread and blueberry jam to a small bowl, then stir to combine.
  • Add flour and 1/2 tsp salt to a medium bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • Separate egg yolk from egg white and place in two separate small bowls. 
Finish cookie dough
2
  • Add clementine zest and sugar to a large bowl. Rub mixture together using your fingertips until fragrant. Add softened butter and 2 tsp water, then beat using a wooden spoon or handheld mixer until combined and fluffy, 2-3 min. Add egg yolk and beat until combined.
  • Add flour mixture to the bowl with the butter mixture, then beat until combined and no floury streaks remain. 
  • Divide dough into 15-17 mounds, then roll each mound between the palms of your hand to form a ball.

  • Brush one dough ball with egg white, then roll in pecans. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Place finished cookie dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart. (NOTE: Use 2 baking sheets, if needed, to fit all of the cookies.)
  • Using the back of 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, gently press the back of the spoon into the centre of each dough ball to form an indent. Repeat with remaining dough balls. 
  • Dollop 1/2 tsp-sized amounts of jam mixture into the centre of each indent. 
Finish and serve

  • Place baking sheet in the fridge until cookie dough is firm, 15 min.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until lightly golden, 10-12 minutes. 
  • Remove holiday thumbprint cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
