Instructions
1- Preheat Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar.
- Beat them together, gradually increasing the mixer speed to medium-high until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
3- Add Egg and Vanilla:
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, then beat again until everything is fully incorporated.
4- Incorporate Flour:
- Scrape down the bowl once more.
- Add the flour.
- Mix until fully combined and a smooth dough forms.
5- Form Cookie Dough Balls:
- Using an ice cream scoop, portion out the dough into balls that are about 1 tablespoon each.
- Roll each ball thoroughly to ensure it is smooth and without cracks.
6- Prepare For Baking:
- Arrange the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Gently press an indent in the center of each cookie with a 3/4 or 1/2 teaspoon, or simply use your thumb.
7- Fill with Preserves:
- Spoon raspberry preserves or your chosen jam into each indent, filling it to the top.
8- Bake:
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bottoms and edges are just lightly golden brown.
9- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray.
- Once cooled, dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
