Ingredients

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of fruit preserves (your choice of flavor)
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix well.
4. Slowly incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Take small portions of dough and roll them into a ball, approximately the size of a walnut.
6. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Be careful not to press all the way through!
8. Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of fruit preserves.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
