wonderful cookies

Butter and Jam thumbprint cookies

• 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter (i used slated and they turned out just fine)
• 2/3 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup red berry jam

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (optional, I didn't even use non-stick spray or parchment paper).

2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl whip butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg and pure vanilla extract until just combined. Slowly beat in dry ingredients, in 2 additions, mixing just until incorporated.

3. Scoop dough into 1 inch balls; roll in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Press a 1/2 inch deep thumbprint into the center of each ball. Fill the thumbprint with jelly.

4. Bake cookies until edges are golden about 15 minutes. Cool. Serve.
