My Little Kitchen: Berry Filled Shortbread Cookies

August 30, 2008

Berry Filled Shortbread Cookies

Tender and sweet, what a treat!


Yield: 12 Cookies
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes

•½ Cup unsalted butter
•1/3 Cup granulated sugar
•1 Tsp. vanilla extract
•1 Cup all-purpose flour
•2 Tbsp. fresh berry preserves or your favorite store bought jam


Cream the butter and sugar together, then add in the flour and vanilla and mix until very well combined. Roll into 12 small balls and push holes in the centers with your finger. At this point you can stick your cookies in the freezer for about 15 minutes, and they will hold their shape in the oven better. If you like them a little thinner like I do, just skip that step. Fill each cookie with about a ½ teaspoon of jam, and bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes.
