Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until the dough comes together. Stir in the finely chopped almonds.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a prepared baking sheet. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create an indentation and fill with apricot jam.
