Servings: 25 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar (or extract)
- 14 tbsp butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) top and bottom heat. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add the butter and knead with your hands until the dough comes together into a ball (don't over knead).
- Roll the dough into about 25 round balls. After rolling each cookie, immediately use your thumb or the back end of a mixing spoon to make a deep indentation in each cookie.
- Space the cookies well apart on the baking sheet, as they will spread a bit in the oven. Fill each indentation with jam.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
