Jam Drop Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
• In another bowl, whip the butter and the sugar with a hand-held mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients in 2 additions, mixing just until incorporated.
• Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls with a cookie or ice cream scoop and roll in sugar. Place about 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a thumbprint into the center of each ball, about 1/2-inch deep. Fill each indentation with about 3/4 teaspoon jam.
• Bake cookies until the edges are golden, about 15 minutes. (For even color, rotate the pans from top to bottom about halfway through baking.) Cool cookies on the baking sheets. Serve.
• Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
• Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
• Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a cookie sheet, of cover it with wax paper.
• Cream the sugar, shortening/butter/margarine and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and soda and add to the first mixture.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except the jam), beating well.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls on the cookie sheet, about an inch apart.
• Using a thimble, or your fingers, make an indent in the center of each cookie and drop a small amount of jam or jelly in it.
• Bake for ten to thirteen minutes and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs and beat well.
• Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. (The dough will be quite sticky).
• Place teaspoonfuls approx 4cm apart onto a baking sheet either greased or lined with baking paper.
• Make an indentation in the top of each biscuit (I use 2 teaspoons to "dig" a little hole) and fill with your choice of jam.
• Bake at 180deg C for 15 mins or until lightly golden.
• Cool on wire rack and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse baking mix and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk; pulse until a dough forms.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto sheets, 4 inches apart. (You will fit about 9 cookies to a sheet; bake in two batches to make a total of 36 cookies.) Bake until cookies begin to turn golden but center is still pale, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Spread flat side of half the cookies with 2 teaspoons jam each; sandwich with remaining cookies.
