Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter softened
  • 40 g powdered sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 160 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp thick jam apple, strawberry, etc. If not thick enough, add 1/2 tsp cornstarch.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Soften the butter by letting it sit at room temperature for 40 minutes or microwave it for about 15-20 seconds. Add the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
  3. Next add the egg white, vanilla extract, salt and mix well.
  4. Finally, add the flour and mix well.
  5. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Place the dough into a disposable pastry bag with a large star tip and pipe cookies onto the baking sheet. The cookies should be about 2 inches in diameter.
  7. Using a 1/4 thick stick, gently press in the center of each cookie, about half way. You want to make a little dent, not a hole. Fill the centers with a little bit of jam.
  8. Bake at 425F for about 8-10 minutes, or until the sides of the cookies are starting to turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Some of my readers have had a challenge piping the batter. If that's the case with you, try the Ateco #828 tip which has a .63″ diameter opening, this one will do the trick.
