Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 cup(s) fruit jam or preserves
1 large egg
2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 cup(s) salted butter, softened
1 cup(s) white sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. In medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Mix well with a wire wisk and set aside.
3. In medium bowl with an electric mixer cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the flour mixture and blend at low speed until thoroughly combined. Dough will be firm.
4. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough, roll into 1-inch diameter balls and place on ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart. With the small end of a melon baller, scoop out the center of dough balls. Do not scoop all the way through the cookie. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the center of each dough ball. Place scooped out dough back into mixing bowl to use to form more cookies.
5. Bake 22-24 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer to a cool, flat surface.
