Instructions
Cookies
- With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and 2 cups of sugar together (save the other 1/2 cup for rolling cookie balls in).
- Add vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
- Slowly mix in flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes.
- After the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, create cookie balls and roll them in the remaining sugar before placing them 2” apart on the baking sheet.
- Using a 1/2 teaspoon, or your thumb, create a bowl on the top of the cookie. Fill with jam or fruit preserves and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges start to brown a little. Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
Glaze
- Make glaze by mixing all of the ingredients and drizzle glaze over cookies.
Notes
- Add more jam to the center of the baked cookies while they’re still hot if your jam isn’t centered or they spread more than you want them to and the jam looks off. A little extra jam never hurt anyone!
- Mix it up with different flavors of jam and glaze. These would be great with a little orange glaze and some cranberry jam for the holidays. Or how about something like a peanut butter filling with a chocolate glaze on top.
- Store in an airtight container for up to five days. If you want to chill them, put in the refrigerator in an airtight container and serve directly from the fridge (or take them out and let them come to room temperature).
