- ½ tsp Salt
- 113 g (½ cup) Unsalted butter soft room temperature
- 60 g (½ cup) Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F /175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dry ingredients - In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.190 g All-purpose flour , ½ tsp Baking powder, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, ½ tsp Salt
- Wet ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Combine well.113 g Unsalted butter, 60 g Powdered sugar, 1 large Egg yolk , 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Dry to wet - Add the flour mix and combine well, but don't overmix. If necessary, use your hands to bring it all into a ball.
- Balls - Take small portions and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place these balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Wells - Gently press your thumb or the back of a teaspoon into the center of each dough ball, creating a small well. Don't press too hard; you don't want the dough to crack or break apart.
- Filling - Add jam or your choice of filling into each well, taking care not to overflow. Pro tip - This is where you can get creative and experiment with different flavors and combinations. Don't just settle for jam.½ cup Jam of choice
- Bake - Once all the thumbprints are filled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have a light golden brown but the cookies are still pale.Pro tip - Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning. They do go from pale to dark golden quite quickly.
- Cool - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will ensure that they set properly and maintain their shape.
