Now, you’re probably thinking you have to go somewhere to special to find marionberry jam. I am happy to say that many local grocery markets now sell this flavor.
I have found it at Target and Fred Meyer (Kroger). If you cannot specifically find marionberry, try looking for “mixed berry” as it is very similar. It just might not be as tart.
One of my missions for this blog when it comes to recipes is to ensure that I keep things as simple as possible. I don’t want you driving around for hours trying to find a specific ingredient.
Do jam cookies need to be refrigerated?
If you are using just a small amount of jam, you can keep the cookies at room temperature without any issues.
If you do refrigerate the thumbprint cookies be sure to let them settle to room temperature before serving.
