Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams blackberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for jam)
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, sugar (for jam), sage, and lemon juice. Cook until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the blackberry-sage jam from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spoon a small amount of the jam into the indentations in each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
