Gooseberry thumbprint cookies
The gooseberry plant that I planted in spring was a huge disappointment as I only got five berries. Yes, five fem pięć cinque 5. Luckily for me there is gooseberry jam at IKEA.

Gooseberry thumbprint cookies
30 cookies
450 ml flour
100 ml sugar (vanilla infused)
1 tsp baking powder
200 gram butter
Around 100-200 ml gooseberry jam
Pre-heat convection oven to 175 degrees C.
Mix butter and sugar with an electric beater until light and fluffy. Add flour and baking powder.
Divide dough in 30 walnut sized pieces and roll each to a ball.
Put each cookie in a small paper cup (småbrödsform in Swedish).
Press a thumb in the center of each cookie and fill with jam.
Bake the cookies until lightly golden, around 10-15 minutes.

I tried making these yummy looking biscuits this morning using kiwifruit jam instead of gooseberry. They didn’t work nearly as well as yours :( I do have a strike against me, as I have to use gluten free flour. They puffed up during cooking then flattened out inside the patty cake wrappers. They taste alright, but certainly a disaster to look at!

Helen: I’m sorry to hear that I didn’t work out with gluten free flour!

That corn had us all but drooling. It is a perfect statement of the season.
