Easy Apricot Cookie

Instructions

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

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.

4. Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten it slightly with your palm. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving some space between each cookie.

6. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

7. Fill each indentation with a small amount of apricot jam, about a teaspoon for each cookie.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, these Easy Apricot Cookies are ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
