Servings: 36 cookies

Equipment
- 1 large rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup seedless raspberry preserves
- Powder sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract, for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl with a spatula. Turn the mixer on low and add the salt. Add the flour a little at a time, until it is just combined.
- Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-ounce balls, about 1 ½ tablespoons per ball.
- Place the dough balls on the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Press the center of each ball with your thumb to create a cavity. Hold the sides of the cookie with the other hand to help keep the dough from cracking. Press any cracks back into place.
- Fill each indentation with ¼-½ teaspoon of raspberry preserves. (Any more and they will overflow while baking.) Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are just barely golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and cool completely before moving. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!
