How to Make Turkish Soldier Buttons Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
  5. Roll the dough into 1 ½-inch balls.
  6. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Gently press down the center of each ball with your thumb to create a small indentation.
  8. Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon of your favorite jam (apricot or raspberry are recommended).
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
