Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup your favorite jam or preserves
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam or preserves.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
