Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams jam (any flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Fill the indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam.
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 allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
