Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350F/180C
- 2
Add butter to bowl and mix for a few seconds until soft. Make sure to scrape down the bowl occasionally.
- 3
Add sugar at once to the butter and cream for 5 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Remember to scrape down the bowl.
- 4
Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Also add the extracts.
- 5
In a separate bowl, mix flour and salt together with a whisk or a sifter. Add the flour mix to the butter mix. Dough will look crumbly at first, but will then become sticky.
- 6
Place bowl in fridge for about 10 minutes or until the butter firms up and it's easy to shape into balls.
- 7
Once the dough is firm, scoop out with a small spoon and form into balls onto a prepared baking sheet.
- 8
Once all the dough is formed, either take the back of a spoon or a clean finger and press down on the tops of the balls, forming an indentation. If the sides crack, do your best to shape the edges. You want a good sized well to hold your jam.
- 9
Place a spoonful of jam in each indentation. Make sure not to fill them too much or the jam will bubble out.
- 10
Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cookies will be done when they're set with a very light brown on the edges and the jam starts to bubble.
- 11
Let cool and enjoy! With the jam, these cookies last a few days before making the cookies too soft and crumbly. If you prefer, you can fill the cookies after you baked them. You can also did what I did and give them a drizzle. Some leftover dark chocolate ganache compliments the sweet strawberry jam.

I love the taste of these. I made a simple recipe, which highlights the buttery flavour.I recommend salted butter as it is richer than non-salted.They are tasty with just 3 ingredients, but feel free to add flavourings such as flavored oil, etc. For 30 cookies. Recipe by Jasumin cookpad.japan
