Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line 2 trays with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 1 1/2 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla, egg and salt and beat for about 20 seconds until combined.
4. Add the flour and beat until no white flour is visible; the mixture will be crumbly.
5. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the tightly packed mixture, press it into a dough in your hand, roll into a smooth 3 cm (1.2 in) ball, then flatten into a 1.25 cm (0.5 in) thick disc.
6. Use your thumb to make an indent in each disc.
7. Place the cookies on the trays about 3.5 cm (1.5 in) apart, making 25 to 28 cookies in total.
8. Fill each indent with a slightly heaped 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
9. Bake both trays together for 14 minutes, swapping and rotating the trays at the 10-minute mark, until the edges are light golden and the surface is pale golden.
10. Cool completely on the tray so the bases finish cooking.
