Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup of blackberry jam (or any other flavor of your choice)

Recipe Instructions:

Step 1:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3:

• Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5:

• Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6:

• Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.

Step 7:

• Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of blackberry jam into the indentation of each cookie, being careful not to overfill.

Step 8:

• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9:

• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10:

• Once the cookies are completely cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a delicious treat for yourself or share them with friends and family.
