Name: Jam Filled Butter Cookies
Ingredients: 0.75 cup butter, softened; 0.5 cup white sugar; 2 egg yolks; 1.75 cups all-purpose flour; 0.5 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

Ingredients

0.75 cup butter, softened
0.5 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
1.75 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

Steps

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat butter, sugar, and egg yolks together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place balls onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie; fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
