These cookies are a favorite of my family around the holidays or any day of the year! They are melt in your mouth butter cookies with a nice fruity finish. Easy to make with just 5 ingredients(well, 6 with the pinch of salt)!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter shopping list
- 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 egg yolk shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups flour shopping list
- pinch of salt shopping list
- currant jelly (or any jelly you like) shopping list
- powdered sugar for finishing shopping list
How to make it
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Mix in the egg yolk.
- Add the flour and pinch of salt and mix well.
- Chill the dough overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350f.
- Form the dough into tiny balls (about 1 inch in diameter), place them on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and make an indentation in the center (I use the back end of a wooden spoon to do this or my pinkie finger).
- Stir up the jelly, place it in a plastic baggie, cut a little hole in the corner of the bag and use this to pipe a little jelly into each indentation (don't overfill or the jelly will bubble out of the cookie).
- Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool on the pans for about 3 minutes and then roll them in the powdered sugar while still warm.
- Cool and store in an airtight container (these also freeze fairly well).
- Enjoy!

OMG! So Good! I made this as written except I added 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract. I used rose jelly that I had just bought from a Turkish grocery store. It was perfect! Great recipe!
