I started looking for a thumbprint recipe and found this one I have changed it a bit to fit my families tastes. These are a great holiday cookies. I have also dyed the dough orange for Halloween. These are very versatile.

3/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg

2. Beat margarine and sugar together until fluffy; add vanilla and egg and beat well.
3. Stir in flour and baking powder.
4. Roll into balls and press thumb into the middle of the cookie, fill with half a tsp or so of jelly.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
