Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted almonds
- 0.5 cup low-sodium fruit preserves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Step 5
Finely chop the unsalted almonds. Spread the chopped almonds on a plate.
Step 6
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls. Press each ball into the chopped almonds, coating the top.
Step 7
Place the almond-coated balls on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a rounded teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Step 8
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of low-sodium fruit preserves.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
