Soft, buttery cookies topped with a spoonful of jam, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup jam or preserves (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, mix well.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until it comes together.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to press a shallow well in the center of each ball.
  6. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each well.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
