Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Baking
  1. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, flattening them slightly.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Allow cookies to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days or freeze for up to three months. Chill the dough if it's sticky before rolling. Try using different flavors of jam or adding mini chocolate chips for variation.
