No eggs needed.❤❤❤ ✨Save this post: Ingredients List 👇🏼 1 cup unsalted butter, very slightly softened and sliced ½ – 1 cup powdered sugar, see notes 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tsp almond extract, see notes ½ tsp table salt 2 cups all purpose flour ½ cup real fruit preserves Instructions In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on low speed, beat butter and sugar 10 seconds, or until lightly combined. Switch to high speed and beat until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes – do not rush this part. Add extracts and salt. Beat on medium-low speed for 10 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. Gently mix in flour, just until combined, about 1 minute. Dough will be somewhat sticky. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down sides; form dough into a ball, cover, and chill 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°F with rack on middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls on lined baking sheets. Press down the center of each ball with round end of a wooden spatula or use your finger, making a deep well in the middle – deep but not very wide – it helps to hold the dough ball in palm of hand while forming the well. Fill cookie centers with roughly 1/2 tsp preserves – easiest to use a piping bag or a 1/4-teaspoon-sized measuring spoon. Place sheet of cookies in fridge 5 minutes to re-chill before baking. Bake 20-23* minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Let cool 5 min. on baking sheet, then gently transfer to finish cooling on wire rack. When cookies are completely cooled, dust with confectioners' sugar. Cookies can be kept in airtight container at room temp for a few days.
