Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups Butter, softened
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 cup White Sugar
4 cups All-Purpose Flour1/2 your preferred Jam ( I used Marionberry Jam)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1) Cream butter and sugar until fluffy in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add in vanilla, flour and mix well. It will look crumbly and dry, this is fine.
2) Compress the dough with a spoon and/or hands then form into flat roundish shapes, or if you have a cookie press fill it up with the dough and press out your cookies. This is best if you care about the shape.
3) Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, they will still be white/pale. If you want more color after you fill them you can pop them under the Broiler on High for about 1 minute watching closely.
4) When you take them out use a small spoon to press a shallow indent into the cookie.
5) Whisk you chosen jam until smoother then spoon a small amount into the indent while the cookie is still warm. Let cool and enjoy
