Ingredients

• 3/4 cup or 170 g butter refrigerated
• 1/2 cup or 60 g confectioners sugar sifted
• 2 Tablespoon water
• 2 Tablespoons of Jam. I used strawberry
• 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups or 190 g sifted All Purpose / plain flour

Instructions

1.       Placed sieved flour and sieved confectioners’ sugar in a large mixing bowl.

2.       Add butter in 1 cm pieces (distribute evenly over the flour)

3.       Add water and vanilla extract

4.       Mix together very well using hands until the ingredients form a dough. You should be able to have a ‘clean’ mixing bowl with no crumbs.

5.       Cover with parchment & place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

6.       To make the cookies without a cookie cutter, take about half a tablespoon of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Take your finger and push a hole into the centre, as described above and place a drop of jam in the centre. Place cookies on the UN GREASED baking tray about 1 inch width apart.

7.       Bake in preheated oven at 350F, 180C, Gas 4 for 10 minutes or until the edges just begin to slightly brown. (see photo)

8.       Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray then transfer to cooling rack
