Ingredients

0.75 cup butter, softened
0.5 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
1.75 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Then, gather all the necessary ingredients for these delightful cookies.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and egg yolks using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Gradually incorporate the flour until a soft and pliable dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on ungreased cookie sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. Create a well in the center of each cookie using your finger or a similarly sized tool. Fill each well with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of your preferred preserves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies turn a beautiful golden brown. Transfer the cookies from the baking sheets to wire racks to cool completely.
