Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Beat butter, sugar, and egg yolks together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place balls onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. 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.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Tips

If dough is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
