Thumbprint cookies with multiple jams

My mom’s grandma (my great grandmother) used to make thumbprint jam cookies: a perfectly baked sugar/shortbread cookie with a little bit of warm apricot, grape, strawberry, blueberry, or whatever kind of jam you wanted, smeared on top. My mom adopted a lot of my great grandmother’s recipes, and this was one of the many. We make these cookies for Christmas and Thanksgiving, and all of my grandfather’s siblings thoroughly enjoy the cookies they remember from their childhood, just as me and my siblings will one day pass down the recipe, making these cookies for our children and our grandchildren.
