Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fruit jam such as raspberry or apricot

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add it to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Using your thumb or a spoon, press down gently in the center of each dough ball to create an indentation.
  • Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
