JAM DROPS
Lovely soft biscuits (cookies) ideal for morning or afternoon tea. I find berry jam (jelly in US) gives the best flavour, eg raspberry, blackberry, fruits of the forest, etc, although you could use other flavours or probably even marmalade, etc. It's up to you whether you use smooth jam or a chunky conserve - I just use whatever I've got (these are a great way to use up all the almost-empty jars at the back of your pantry!) I usually make a mixed batch, half 1 flavour jam & half another, for variety. NB Aussie recipe - 1 cup = 250ml

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. 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 for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Tips:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together smoothly and create a creamy, light texture.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure that your jam drop cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
- If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use two spoons to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. Just be sure to make sure that the cookies are all about the same size.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
