These are perfect for the holidays! You can choose all types of jams for a nice variety of flavors for a cookie tray.
Ingredients
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces assorted jam (I used raspberry!)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract.
Add flour and salt and mix until incorporated and dough comes together in a ball.
Form dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Flatten balls slightly with your thumb or the back of a small spoon, leaving an indentation in the center.
Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are just barely golden. Remove from oven.
If indentations look shallow, further define them with the back of a spoon and then fill each with approximately 1/2 teaspoon jam.
Bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until jam melts slightly and edges of cookies are lightly golden.
