These cute little shortbread cookies with jelly or jam in the middle are the best things since merengues. They're really simple and quick to make, but you may end up making a few batches because you eat them all...
Ingredients-
-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
-3 tablespoons sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 cup flour
-About 2-3 tablespoons jelly or jam (it's far easier to just take the jar and a spoon)
1. Beat sugar, vanilla, and butter until light and fluffy.
2. Add the flour and beat to form a smooth dough.
3. Roll teaspoon-sized balls of dough, spacing about 1 inch apart on cookie tray with parchment paper
4. With your thumb, make an indentation in the top of the cookie. This part is always a little frustrating, and I learned the hard way that dough sticks less to clean hands than greased.
5. Fill the indentation with jelly. It's okay if it's a little messy.
6. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes, until tops of cookies begin to brown.
7. Let the cookies cool completely, if you can, because the jelly will be very hot.
8. Enjoy!!
(Sorry about lack of pic, took one but something went wrong with the tech side of it, trying to figure out. Will insert later.)
