1 ½

teaspoon

2 ½

1

1

baking powder
½
teaspoon

1
cup

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Beat the butter, shortening, and sugar with an electric mixer for 3 minutes until soft and creamy.
¾ cups unsalted butter,
¼ cup shortening,
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Add the eggs, vanilla, and instant pudding mix to the mixing bowl. Continue mixing until completely combined.
2 eggs,
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract,
1 box instant vanilla pudding
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 ½ cups flour,
½ teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon baking powder
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture a little at a time. Mix between additions until all the flour is incorporated.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the dough balls about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon to press into the center of each cookie. Fill the indentation with a teaspoon of jam.
1 cup strawberry jam
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. They are done when light golden brown around the edges and the middle is set.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These are supposed to be soft cookies. So be careful not to overbake them.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on the cookie sheets.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a vanilla glaze for extra sweetness.
Try filling these with different flavors of jam or jelly, or lemon curd.
