Jelly Bowl Cookies

Jelly Bowl Cookies

Ingredients

  • 4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3 large egg yolks

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

  • 4 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

  • Jelly of some type: strawberry, raspberry or apricot, or a combination

Directions

  • In bowl of a stand mixer. Beat together the butter, sugar, and salt until fluffy. Beat in yolks, one at a time, until combined, then add vanilla and beat until smooth. Beat in flour gradually until just combined.
  • Measure out 16 grams per cookie into balls and arrange about one inch apart on baking sheets. Make an indentation with a half teaspoon in the center of each ball of dough and fill with about as much jelly.
  • Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are pale golden, about 12 minutes. Store between layers of wax paper in airtight containers up to six weeks.
