*Wet your hands with water.
Scoop out a large ball of the mixture with a spoon and form into a tighter ball in with your hands. *The water on your hands will help with this.
Divide large ball into 2-3 smaller balls and place each one onto a cookie sheet.
*Continue to wet your hands and form the dough balls until all of the dough has been placed onto the cookie sheets.
Very lightly press your thumb into the center of each dough ball.
*You may have to re-form the balls of dough just slightly, as they may break apart when you press your thumb in.
Fill the center of each cookie with raspberry or strawberry jam.
