These Jammy Coconut Thumbprint Tartlets are a delightful twist on the classic thumbprint cookie. With a soft, chewy coconut base and a sweet dollop of jam in the center, they bring tropical flair and fruity goodness together in one irresistible bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 24 tartlets

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup fruit jam (raspberry, apricot, or strawberry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the flour and salt, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded coconut to create a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  6. Scoop out small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
  7. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Press your thumb or the back of a spoon into the center of each ball to create a well.
  8. Spoon a small amount of jam (about 1/2 teaspoon) into each well, being careful not to overfill.
  9. Bake the tartlets for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the tartlets cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you prefer thicker jams or preserves, they will hold their shape better during baking. Raspberry and apricot are great choices.
  • For a richer base, mix coconut and almond flour.
  • You can also sprinkle sea salt or finely chopped nuts on top of the jam before baking for extra flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze the tartlets and thaw at room temperature when needed.
  • Chill dough balls for 10-15 minutes if they are too soft and spreading too much.
