Jelly-Filled Thumbprint Cookies are a classic treat that everyone loves. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a holiday party or a simple afternoon snack. With a soft and buttery texture, these cookies are filled with your favorite jelly or jam, making them a sweet and delicious treat.

To make these Jelly-Filled Thumbprint Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam of your choice

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jelly or jam.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Jelly-Filled Thumbprint Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will love. They have a soft and buttery texture, with a sweet and fruity filling that adds the perfect touch of flavor. Enjoy them as a dessert or snack, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
