Jam Drop Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a cookie sheet, of cover it with wax paper.
• Cream the sugar, shortening/butter/margarine and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and soda and add to the first mixture.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except the jam), beating well.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls on the cookie sheet, about an inch apart.
• Using a thimble, or your fingers, make an indent in the center of each cookie and drop a small amount of jam or jelly in it.
• Bake for ten to thirteen minutes and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs and beat well.
• Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. (The dough will be quite sticky).
• Place teaspoonfuls approx 4cm apart onto a baking sheet either greased or lined with baking paper.
• Make an indentation in the top of each biscuit (I use 2 teaspoons to "dig" a little hole) and fill with your choice of jam.
• Bake at 180deg C for 15 mins or until lightly golden.
• Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
