Butter Cookies
This was my grandmother's recipe and I would get so excited around the holidays to make these cookies that are oh, so easy to pop in your mouth! I use raspberry jam to fill the center.Plan Ahead Note: the butter needs to be softened to room temperature and the dough needs to chill for one hour.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- jam
Instructions
- Cream sugar and butter in an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Blend in flour and vanilla just until combined.
- Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Roll chilled dough into balls the size of a walnut and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Use the back of a ¼ teaspoon and make a dent in the center of each ball. Fill with ¼ teaspoon of jam.
- Bake at 350° for 12 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
