Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams jam or preserves (any flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon of your chosen jam or preserves. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
