Chewy Jam-Filled Cookies are delightful treats that combine a soft, chewy texture with a sweet fruit jam filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fruit jam (your choice, such as raspberry or apricot)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie ball.
  7. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of your chosen fruit jam.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for chocolate cookies.
  • Experiment with different flavors of jam or even peanut butter for a unique filling.
