  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup high-quality strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Press your thumb into each ball to create an indent.
