Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • About 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Mix in the vanilla, flour, cornstarch, and salt until a soft dough forms that holds together when pressed.
  3. Roll scant tablespoon‑sized balls of dough, place 2 inches apart on parchment‑lined sheets, and make a deep indent in each.
  4. Fill each indent with about 1/4 teaspoon jam.
  5. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are set and bottoms are lightly golden. Cool on the tray 5 minutes, transfer to a rack, then dust with icing sugar.

Notes

If the dough becomes too soft to handle, chill it for 10 minutes. For cleaner jam centres, use a piping bag. The biscuits firm up as they cool completely, so handle them gently while warm.
