Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Prep the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it's manageable. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Form the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each ball. Fill each indentation with about 1-2 teaspoons of your preferred jam.

Bake

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
