Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Jam or jelly (any flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using your hands, roll the dough into 24 small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press an indent into the center of each cookie ball. Be careful not to press all the way through.
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of jam or jelly into each indent, being careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should still be soft to the touch when you remove them from the oven.
Allow the cookies to 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.
