Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl whisk all-purpose flour and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy then add the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients all at once then mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 5

Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll into balls then place onto the lined baking sheets. Use the back of a 1/2 teaspoon to make an indent in each cookie dough ball then fill with jam.

Step 6

Bake cookies for 16-18 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned.

Step 7

In a small bowl combine the confectioners' sugar, water and vanilla extract then drizzle over cooled cookies.
