Ingredients
Units
- Butter, Softened/Room Temperature - 1 cup
- Brown Sugar, Packed - 1/4 cup
- Granulated Sugar - 1/2 Cup *Extra 3 Tablespoons For Rolling Cookies
- Powdered/Confectioners Sugar - 1 Tablespoon
- Egg - 1
- Vanilla Extract - 2 Teaspoons
- Salt - 1/4 Teaspoon
- Flour - 2 And 1/2 cups
- Baking Soda - 1/4 Teaspoon
- Seedless Jam, Raspberry Or Your Favourite Flavour - 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 350° F or 177° C. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Add about 3 tablespoons worth of granulated sugar to a small bowl, and set aside.
- Wet mixture: Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a medium or large bowl. Mix these ingredients until combined and the texture is light and fluffy. Mix in the powdered sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again.
- Dry mixture: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
- Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. The texture should be crumbly.
- Refrigerate: With your hands, roughly form the cooking dough into a ball and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Form the cookie shape: Use a tablespoon to size your dough and roll it into a ball. Don’t make the balls larger than a tablespoon, or they'll be too big. They'll seem too small, but they'll grow when they bake. Roll the ball in granulated sugar.
- Fill the cookies: Press down on the cookies with your thumb or the back of the tablespoon to create a hole for the jam. Fill the hole with jam.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes. If you see the edges become golden, pull the cookies out immediately.
