Jam Filled Cookies

  I baked these cookies last week during my kids’ Thanksgiving break. They turned out really, really good. I never thought I could bake buttery, jam-filled cookies like these. While browsing allrecipes.com, I came across this recipe and adjusted the measurements to make the quantity I needed. Here’s the recipe

Ingredients:

1. All Purpose Flour/Maida - 2 cups + 1 tbsp
2. Butter - Little more than 3/4 cup
3. Brown Sugar - 1/3 cup
4. White Sugar / Xyla - 1/3 cup
5. Egg Whites - 3 tbsp
6. Baking Powder - 1 tsp
7. Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
8. Pineapple Chunky Jam - 3 + tbsp

Method:

• Pre Heat Oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
•  Cream the butter + Xyla(white sugar) + Brown sugar until smooth
• Beat in the egg and vanilla
• Mix the baking powder to Maida well.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine.
• Form dough into 1 inch balls and make a small thumb print in the middle and fill it with the jam.  I used 1/2 tsp measuring spoon do this process.
• Bake it for 15 to 17 minutes until its fully cooked.  
• Let it cool really well. Store it in air-tight container
• Enjoy!
