Blueberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies

At the Lello table

Buttery almond cookies with jewel-like centers of wild blueberry jam. The recipe is written to keep the featured pantry ingredient precise and recognizable rather than overwhelming the plate.

Method

1. Cream butter and sugar; beat in yolk and vanilla. Fold in both flours and salt.
2. Roll into 18 balls and make a deep thumbprint in each.
3. Fill with blueberry jam and bake 12 to 14 minutes.

Cook’s notes

• Taste before adding more salt; the featured pantry ingredient should remain clear and balanced.
