Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Use the back of a wooden spoon or your thumb to gently press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with a small amount of jam, being careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Jam Buttons. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
