Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup jam (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream the 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the 1.5 cups flour and mix until a soft dough forms. If dough is too crumbly, add 1-2 tbsp water.

  3. 3

    Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Press each ball flat with your thumb to make a small indentation.

  4. 4

    Fill each indentation with about 1/2 tsp of the 1/4 cup jam.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
