I love the buttery taste of these cookies. Kids like to help fill these too. I got this recipe in South Carolina where the flour is different, so be sure to use about 1 tbl less flour if not using southern flour.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter (softened)
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups flour (minus 1 tbl if you are not down south)
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
jelly or preserves or peanut butter
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar well.
2. Beat in egg yolks one at a time.
3. Add flour and salt, beat well.
4. Add Vanilla beat again.
5. Dough will be stiff.
6. Using a teaspoon, spoon dough about a heaping teaspoon full at a time, form into balls.
7. Place on a greased and lightly floured cookie sheet.
8. Using a finger make a small well in the top of each round ball.
9. Using a spoon, (I personally like to use a baby spoon, perfect size) top with a little jelly, preserves or my favorite, peanut butter.
10. I do some of every kind on hand, for variety.
11. Bake 350 degrees in preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.
12. Cool and eat.
