Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup peach jam (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack in the egg and add the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.

            Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

              Create the Indentations: Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make a small indention in the center of each cookie ball.

                Fill with Jam: Spoon a small amount of peach jam into each indentation, being careful not to overfill.

                  Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

                    Cool Down: Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Optional Dusting: If desired, once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

                        Enjoy your delightful Peach Jam Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor the taste of summer in each bite!
