Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Beat in 1 large egg until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart. Use your thumb to make an indentation in each ball.
Step 5
Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of red jam. Bake until edges are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes.
Step 6
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
