Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup peach jam
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate flavor and help bind the dough.
  4. Mix in Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms without any lumps.
  5. Shape Dough: Roll the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball slightly. Using your thumb or a utensil, make a small indentation in the center of each flattened dough ball.
  6. Add Peach Jam: Fill each indentation with about a teaspoon of peach jam, ensuring a generous amount for a juicy center.
  7. Bake Cookies: Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
  8. Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool on a rack, then dust the tops lightly with powdered sugar for a delicate finishing touch.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened, not melted, for best texture.
  • You can substitute peach jam with other fruit jams like raspberry or apricot for variety.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a decorative touch, use a piping bag to fill the jam indentations neatly.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
