How to Make Split Second Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 12-inch long and ¾-inch thick log.
  8. Place logs 4 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Using your finger, make a ½-inch deep depression down the center of each log.
  10. Fill the depressions with your favorite jam.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes.
  13. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs diagonally into ¾-inch slices.
  14. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
