A sour cherry jam cookie is made by baking buttery cookie dough with a small spoonful of thick sour cherry jam in the center or sealed inside. Keep the filling away from the edges so it stays put as the dough bakes.
Jam usually leaks out of a sour cherry jam cookie when the filling is too runny, the cookie is overfilled, or the dough seam is not sealed. Use thick jam and leave a clear border of dough around the filling before baking.
Thick sour cherry jam works best in a sour cherry jam cookie because it is less likely to spread in the oven. A smooth jam gives an even center, while a chunky preserve leaves visible fruit pieces and a more pronounced texture.
To keep a sour cherry jam cookie from spreading, start with cool, firm dough and space the shaped cookies apart on the baking tray. If the dough feels soft or sticky while shaping, chill it briefly before adding the jam.
Yes, you can freeze a sour cherry jam cookie once it has cooled completely. Store the cookies in a sealed freezer-safe container with baking paper between layers, then thaw them at room temperature to help preserve their texture.
Store a sour cherry jam cookie in an airtight container after it has cooled fully. Keep the container in a cool, dry place; packing warm cookies traps steam and can make the dough soft around the jam.
Yes, sour cherry jam cookie dough can be made ahead and chilled, covered, before shaping. Let very firm dough soften slightly so it is workable, then add the jam just before baking rather than storing shaped, filled dough for long periods.
A sour cherry jam cookie can be a thumbprint cookie, but the name does not require that shape. Thumbprint versions have a hollow pressed into each dough ball and filled with jam; other versions wrap or sandwich the filling inside.
Fresh sour cherries are not a direct substitute for jam in a sour cherry jam cookie because they release juice as they bake. Pit and cook the fruit with a little sugar until thick, then cool it before using it as the filling.
A sour cherry jam cookie pairs well with plain tea, coffee, or a glass of milk. The cookie is already sweet and fruity, so an unsweetened drink lets the tart cherry flavor stand out without making the snack overly sugary.

A sour cherry jam cookie is made with sweet cookie dough filled with, or topped by, sour cherry jam. The fruit brings a pleasantly sharp note to an otherwise buttery, sweet biscuit; recipes vary in whether the jam is baked inside the dough or added to a little hollow on top.
In Turkey, where this style of cookie is familiar, it is often served with tea at home, offered to guests, or included on festive sweet trays. It also pairs well with coffee. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with 455 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter treat, enjoy one small cookie and keep the jam layer modest.
