Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Fruit jam (e.g., raspberry or strawberry)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Using both your thumbs, gently press two indentations into each cookie, leaving a small gap between the wells. Make sure the wells are deep enough to hold your fillings but not so deep that the cookie becomes too thin.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and light golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.

Step 9

For the jam filling, heat the fruit jam in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spoon. Fill one well of each cookie with the warm jam.

Step 10

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Fill the second well of each cookie with the chocolate ganache.

Step 12

Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the fillings are set, about 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
