Strawberry Buttons

 

INGREDIENTS:

• All purpose flour – 3/4 cup
• Sugar – 4 Tbsp
• Egg – 1 no
• Butter, at room temperature – 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup)
• Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
• Salt – 1/8 tsp
• Strawberry jam – 3 Tbsp

METHOD:

• Premeasure and layout all the ingredients in your work place to make Strawberry Buttons.
• Line a large rectangular baking tray with parchment paper. Keep it aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed beat butter and sugar until smooth.
• Now add egg and vanilla and beat until well blended.
• Stir in flour and salt and beat just until dough comes together.
• Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place  them about 1 inch apart on buttered or parchment lined baking tray. Press your thumb gently into the center of each cookie to make an indentation.

• Bake Strawberry Buttons until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.  If  you are baking more than one baking tray at a time, switch baking tray positions halfway through baking.
• Let cookies cool on baking tray  for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer them to racks to cool completely.
• Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon Strawberry jam into the center of each cooled cookie. Actually I put a scoop of  Strawberry jam in the center of each cookies, and baked them.
• Your Strawberry Buttons are ready to serve.
