Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 310 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry or apricot)
- 50 grams coarse sanding sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, and mix on low speed until a dough forms. The dough should hold together but not be sticky.
Step 5
Roll the dough into 2.5 cm (1-inch) balls and place them 5 cm (2 inches) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 6
Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Be careful not to press all the way through the bottom of the cookie.
Step 7
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves. Do not overfill to avoid spilling over during baking.
Step 8
Sprinkle the cookies with coarse sanding sugar for a sparkly finish.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The centers will remain soft.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
