Jam-filled Thumbprint Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a light or medium-colored heavy-weight baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract.

  4. Add flour and salt and mix until incorporated and dough comes together in a ball.

  5. Form dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet.

  6. Flatten balls slightly with your thumb or the back of a small spoon, leaving an indentation in the center.

  7. Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are just barely golden.

  8. Remove baking sheet from oven. If indentations look shallow, further define them with the back of a spoon and then fill each with approximately ½ teaspoon jam.

  9. Bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until jam melts slightly and edges of cookies are lightly golden.

  10. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
