These are easy and so colorful. The kids love to pick out their favorite jelly to put in the middle. A good holiday or rainy day project.

How To Make jelly jewel cookies

Step 1

Combine flour and sugar in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs form. Add beaten egg yolk and vanilla. Mix until dough holds together.

Shape into small balls using half teaspoonfuls. Place 1-inch apart on cookie sheet. Make small indentation in center of each. Chill 20 minutes.
Step 3

Heat oven to 350. Fill each cookie with scant 1/4 teaspoon jam, jelly or preserves. Bake 11-13 minutes, or until edges are just golden.
