Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add 1 egg yolk and 1/4 teaspoon salt; beat until combined.
Step 4
Stir in 1.5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, chill 10 minutes.
Step 5
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Press a thumbprint into each ball.
Step 6
Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of jelly.
Step 7
Bake until edges are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
