Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Jam or jelly (any flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Using your hands, roll the dough into 24 small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Using your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press an indent into the center of each cookie ball. Be careful not to press all the way through.
Step 7
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of jam or jelly into each indent, being careful not to overfill.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should still be soft to the touch when you remove them from the oven.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
