Whole Wheat Jam Cookies

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour / Atta - 1 cup
• Sugar (fine) - 1/4 - 1/2 cup (adjust as per taste)
• Butter (Unsalted)- 1/2 cup
• Salt - a pinch
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
• Jam - as required (I used home made strawberry & blueberry jam)

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt well
   
3. Add soft butter to the flour mixture and mix well to form a crumble mixture
   
4. Gather it to form a smooth dough 
   
5. Using a spoon (I used 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon) scoop out equal sized balls and place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about inch a part and using thumb make impressions or we can use 1/2 tsp measuring spoon to make uniform sized impressions
   
6. Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes or until the bottom edges turn lightly gold brown
7. After they become lightly golden brown remove the cookie sheet from the oven
   
8. When the cookies become warm, fill the impressions with jam and allow to cool
   
9. I also tried placing the jam before baking and that too came out well; but in this case we need to add only little amount of jam since it will ooze out while baking
   
   
   
   
10. Since I used home made jam, its of right consistency to fill the cookies; if you are using store bought jams, you might need to melt a little using double boiling method
