Preparing the Dough

Begin by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, ensuring they're well incorporated. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, and mix until a cohesive dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to make it easier to handle.

Shaping and Baking

Once the dough is chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Form the dough into small, even balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press your thumb into the center of each dough ball to create a well. Fill each well with a small teaspoon of jam. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
