Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup jam - apricot raspberry, strawberry or other
- powdered sugar for dusting on top
Instructions
- Put the butter and sugar in a mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, stopping once to scrape the bowl. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the mixer bowl and beat again for 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to mix. Then slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
- Take the dough out of the mixer and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or as much as 24 hours.
- When you are ready to bake the cookies preheat the oven to 350 F. Put parchment paper or silicone baking mats on your baking sheets.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and put them on the cookie sheets, leaving space between them. Use your thumb or a rounded teaspoon to make a well in the center of each cookie.
- Use a spoon to fill each well with your desired flavor of jam, making sure not to overfill the cookies.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until they are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then take them off and put them on wire racks.
- Once they are completely cool sprinkle them with powdered sugar if desired.
