Buttery jam shortbread cookies are a delightful treat, blending crumbly shortbread with sweet fruit jam. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup fruit jam (strawberry, apricot, or raspberry work well)
Instructions:
1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a bowl, beat softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
2. Add Flour: Gradually fold in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Shape Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on a baking sheet, and flatten slightly with your thumb.
4. Add Jam: Spoon a small amount of jam into the center of each cookie.
5. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Tips: For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the dough or sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving. These cookies stay fresh for a week in an airtight container. Enjoy with tea or coffee for a perfect snack!
