Thumbprint Jam Cookies: The Cookies

So I finished my cookies and pictures will be up soon I promise. I used the recipe from here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/jam-thumbprints-recipe/index.html. Make sure you leave the butter out for a long time so it comes to room temperature; thats the only way to guarentee perfect cookies. I had more jam than batter so I recomend doubling the cookie recipe.
