Instructions
Mix the Dough
- In a KitchenAid mixer or food processor, mix Caputo Gluten-Free Flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly and combined.
- Add the baking soda and vanilla, then mix for 30 seconds.
- With the mixer on, gradually add in the eggs and egg yolks until a smooth, homogeneous dough ball forms.
Portion and Chill

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Prepare for Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the chilled dough scoops evenly across two sheet pans, leaving space between each.
- Press your thumb gently into the center of each scoop to create a small indent for the jam.
Bake and Fill

- Remove from the oven and spoon ½ tablespoon of jam into each indent.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 6–7 minutes, or until the edges are.
Cool and Finish

- Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
