To Make the Cookies

• Preheat the oven to 180C (160 Fan) and line baking trays with parchment paper. I used two large baking trays but you need to ensure that the cookies are spaced out enough so that when they spread in the oven they don’t touch.  
• Mix together the sugar and butter until light and creamy and fluffy. Add in the flour, egg, vanilla and baking powder and mix until it forms a dough.  
• Split the dough into 12 equal balls and place on your baking trays.  
• Press your thumb into the centre of each dough ball to create a well. 
• Fill the well with jam and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.  
• Remove them from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for 15 minutes and then gently move them to a wire rack to cool fully.
