Ingredients
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all cookie ingredients except flour and baking powder in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour and baking powder. Beat until well mixed. I chilled my dough for about an hour prior to proceeding. I know some people have said their cookies spread a lot, chilling the dough could help prevent this.
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in each cookie with thumb; rotate thumb to hollow out slightly.
Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl; fill each cookie with 1 rounded teaspoon filling. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
