Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (120 g) your choice of jam or preserves (such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
For the Glaze:
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Shape and Fill the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with a small amount of jam.
Bake the Cookies:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Serve:
Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious jam-filled cookies with a creamy glaze!
Enjoy.
