Ingredients

3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4-2 cups packed flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
About 6 oz. jam of choice

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the oil and confectioner’s sugar until smooth.

Add in egg and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth again.

Pour 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt over wet ingredients and stir everything together until just combined. If dough is loose or wet, add up to 1/4 cup more flour.

Round small pieces of dough between palms and space out onto baking sheets. Indent the center of each cookie with your thumb. Drop jam into the indented centers with a spoon.

Bake cookies for about 11 minutes, or until bottoms are just golden. Let cookies cool and firm up a bit on baking sheets before moving them.
