Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add in the butter and granulated sugar. Beat at medium-high until everything is combined and mixture turns creamy.
  • Mix in the milk and vanilla. Beat until combined.
  • Slowly stir in the flour and cornstarch until just combined and a dough is formed. It's okay if there are a few spots of dry ingredients.
  • Scoop the cookie dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized balls. Roll until the dough is completely round with no cracks.
  • Place the rolled dough on a cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Press your thumb, or the back of a measuring spoon, into the center of each cookie.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to the fridge and chill for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of jam to the well in each cookie. Fill to the brim but don’t let the jam overflow too much.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
