- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking tips:

- Make sure your butter is softened before mixing it with the sugar to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to make even-sized dough balls.
- Chill the dough balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball.
8. Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of fruit jelly.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
