Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies with Cherry Jam and Icing Baker Bettie

"These buttery shortbread thumbprint cookies are flavored with almond, filled with cherry jam, and drizzled with a simple icing...."

INGREDIENTS
NOTE: A few have commented that the dough is too dry and won't hold together. It is EXTREMELY important that you either weigh your flour or measure by fluffing it up, lightly spooning it into the measuring cups without packing it down, and level it off. T
113 grams (½ cup, 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
75 grams (6 tablespoons) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
10 grams (2 tablespoons) cornstarch
150 grams (1 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
70 grams (¼ cup) jam of choice (I think cherry jam works really well)
60 grams (½ cup) powdered sugar
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) milk
