Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Instructions
 

  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and lemon zest in large bowl until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until blended. Beat dry ingredients into butter mixture in 2 additions.
  • Gather dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  • Press your thumb into each ball, forming an indentation. Fill each cookie with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely, approximately 30 minutes.
