Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup jam of your choice (raspberry, strawberry, apricot, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll small amounts of dough into balls (roughly the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking tray. Create a small indentation in the center of each dough ball using your thumb.
- Fill with Jam: Spoon a small amount of jam into each indentation, being careful not to overfill.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling Tip: If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes before shaping.
