Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of your favorite jam or jelly
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 25 minutes.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Press into the center of each ball with your thumb or a teaspoon to create an indentation.
Fill each thumbprint with your favorite jam or jelly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
