Step 1
We will need butter. Leave it at room temperature to soften. Beat the butter with sugar and egg. Add vanilla and flour, sifted through a sieve. Knead a soft dough.

Step 2
A piping bag is necessary for baking. You won't be able to shape these cookies by hand. Use a star-shaped nozzle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe out small-sized cookies using the piping bag. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie with your finger. The size of the indentation can vary depending on how much jam you plan to add.

Step 3
Take jam or thick, uniform preserves. If it's too runny, add one teaspoon of starch per 3 tablespoons of jam. This way, the filling will hold its shape and won't leak out. Spoon the filling into the indentation of the cookie. Bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes.

Step 4
When the cookies turn golden brown, they're ready to be taken out. Cover the baked goods with a towel, slightly damp if desired, to prevent the filling from sticking. Serve with tea, coffee, and other beverages.
