How to Make Jam Buttons
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon orange zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well.
- Beat in 1 large egg yolk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Roll the dough into a ½-inch thick disk.
- Using a 1-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles. Dip the cutter in flour between each cut to prevent sticking.
- Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Using your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with ¼ teaspoon of your favorite jam.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the jam is bubbling.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
