Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb (edges may crack slightly). Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely. Combine all glaze ingredients in small bowl with wire whisk until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. |
