Strawberry Rhubarb Thumbprint Cookies

TABLE Contributing Editor Anna Franklin dreamed up these tender and tasty morsels especially for National Cookie Day. With Strawberry Rhubarb Jam in a thumbprint at the center, they’d be a welcome addition to any holiday cookie table, and delectable on their own. Not to mention, look how adorable and festive the cookies are with sprinkles that you can change out for any season (think red and green for Christmas but orange and black for Halloween). Just be careful, they may just become the star of your dessert table.

What is Strawberry Rhubarb Anyways?

Strawberry rhubarb is a classic flavor combination. It pairs the sweet, juicy taste of strawberries with the tart, tangy flavor of rhubarb. This dynamic duo is often used in pies, tarts, jams, and other desserts. The contrasting flavors create a harmonious balance that is both refreshing and satisfying. Plus, if you’re not a fan of rhubarb, this is a great way to get into its flavors. The strawberry’s flavor notes ensure the rhubarb does not take over and only adds a nuance.
