Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 0.5 cup Strawberry preserves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and confectioners' sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Step 6
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press into the center of each ball to create a small well.
Step 7
Fill each well with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry preserves.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
