Time 40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 5

¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup fruit preserves, any flavor

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.

I didn't have any jam on hand, so I used apple butter instead. The cookies were still delicious!
