Jam Drops
Ingredients:
½ cup jam
2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract/essence
Method:
Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until it gets creamy. Add the sugar and blend it well. Add the egg and beat for about a minute. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat for 1 more minute.
Now keep adding the flour little by little while still lightly beating the batter. Don’t overdo it. Your aim should be soft dough. Add the jam and incorporate it well.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a spoon, drop the cookie dough onto the tray leaving a two-inch space between each drop.
Place the tray in a pre-heated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they begin to firm and become golden on the bottom. Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely before eating it.
