Description

Ingredients

• 100 g unsalted butter, softened
• 40 g powdered sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• 160 g all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp thick jam (apple, strawberry, or any other). If not thick enough, add ½ tsp cornstarch

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425F
• Soften the butter by letting it sit at room temperature for 40 minutes or microwave it for about 15-20 seconds. Add powdered sugar and mix thoroughly
• Add the egg white, vanilla extract, salt and mix well
• Add flour and mix well
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
• Place the dough into a disposable pastry bag with a large star tip and pipe cookies onto the baking sheet. The cookies should be about 2 inches in diameter
• Using a ¼ thick stick, gently press in the center of each cookie, about half way. You want to make a little dent, not a hole. Fill the centers with a little bit of jam
• Bake at 425F for about 8-10 minutes, until the sides of cookie are starting to turn golden brown
