Delightful cookies combining buttery richness with sweet apricot jam, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Apricot jam for filling
- Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually blend in the flour and salt.
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with apricot jam, being careful not to overfill.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
Ensure butter is softened, not melted. Chill dough if too sticky. Can substitute apricot jam with other jams if needed.
