Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Jam or preserves (your choice of flavor)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball, being careful not to press all the way through.
Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of your chosen jam or preserves.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
