How to Bake Jam Cookies

Baking jam cookies is a simple yet delicious treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Here are the steps to make jam cookies:

Ingredients: - 1 cup butter, softened - 1 cup granulated sugar - 2 eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 3 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup jam (any flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.

6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

8. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of jam into each indentation.

9. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.

10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
