Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too soft, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 5

Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 6

Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie ball.

Step 7

Fill each indentation with about 1/2 tsp of fruit jelly or jam.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
