Method
 

How to Make Jam Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Blend in the vanilla extract until fully integrated into the mixture.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl and fold into the creamed butter mixture.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets, creating indentations in each cookie for the jam.
  6. Fill each indentation with about half a teaspoon of your favorite jam.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
