Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325 F. Work butter in a bowl until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat well. Add sifted flour to butter mixture gradually and mix until smooth. Divide dough into small balls about 3/4 inch in diameter. Place balls about 2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with the fingers and make a depression in each with the thumb. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Fill depressions with currant jelly as used.
