Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jam Filled Butter Cookies.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth baking experience.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to work its magic.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the softened butter, white sugar, and egg yolks until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, gradually add in the all-purpose flour, stirring gently until a soft dough forms that you can easily handle.
Step 5
Now comes the fun part: roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased cookie sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one for their delicious expansion.
Step 6
With your finger or a handy tool, create a small well in the center of each cookie ball, and fill it with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite fruit preserves—this is where the magic happens! Slide the cookie sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once they’re baked to perfection, carefully remove the cookies from the sheets and let them cool on wire racks, filling your home with the irresistible scent of freshly baked treats.
Step 8
Enjoy the process and the delightful cookies that await you!.
