Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Smucker's jam (any flavor of choice, such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon measure, scoop out 1-inch balls of cookie dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 6

Using your thumb, press gently into the center of each dough ball to create a small well. Be careful not to press all the way through the bottom of the dough.

Step 7

Fill each well with about 1/2 teaspoon of Smucker's jam. Do not overfill, as the jam may spill over during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
