Step-by-Step Instructions for Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir in the oats.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Gently press down in the center of each cookie ball to create a thumbprint.
- Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon of jam.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough if it becomes too sticky and watch the bake time carefully.
