Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Cream on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape the bottom and sides and continue mixing to combine all of the ingredients. Turn the mixer off, add the flour all at once, and then turn the mixer on its lowest speed. Mix just until all of the ingredients are combined and form a smooth dough.

Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Scoop out a piece of dough about 2 tablespoons in size and roll it into a log (if the dough is very cold, you may have to knead it in your hands in order to roll it without cracking it). Place the log on the baking sheet and press three small dimples into it using your thumb. Continue with the remaining dough, leaving about 1 inch between each log. Place a small dollop of jam into the dimples in the cookies.
