Jam Drops!

                'What do I cook??'  It's a question I ask my husband dear every single day! Am sure I must be haunting him with this question even in his dreams. Haha! So the last morning when I asked him the same, I laughed at his reply. ' Make Biscuits ' he said and off he drove for work. Smiling at his reply as I went back inside the house, I thought why not really bake biscuits? 

                What coincidence can it be! The bakers guild I follow regularly had a contest going on which had plenty of cookie recipes. This inspired me more! The husband dear likes more of the butter jam combination with which I decided to go with jam drops. Was a little short of jam so used some choco chips for the rest. Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com. My home smelled delicious and the jam cookies put a smile on his face! 

Ingredients 

3/4cup and 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

 1/4cup White Sugar 

1 Egg Yolk

1/4cup and 2tbsp Butter, Softened 

1/4tsp Vanilla Essence

1/4tsp Baking Powder

1/4 cup Jam, any flavour

Method 

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C. Cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolk in a bowl. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. If the dough is a little dry add some milk and knead. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes. Make small balls of the dough and flatten them a little. Use your finger or a bottle cap to create a well like impression. Fill the hole with jam. Keep them on cookie trays and bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Let the cookies cool down and then serve. It's yummy in the tummy!
