Butter + Jam Crumble Cookies

Yields12 Servings
Cookies:
 1/2 cup butter, softened
 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
 2 Tbsp icing sugar
 1 large egg yolk (optional)
 1/2 tsp vanilla
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 cup jam or other preserves
Crumble:
 1/4 cup brown sugar
 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
 1/4 cup oats
 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
 1/4 cup coconut (optional)
 2-3 Tbsp butter (you can eyeball this)
 pinch salt
1

Preheat the oven to 350F.

2

To make the cookies, beat the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until pale and light. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Stir or beat in the flour and salt, blending until smooth.

3

Press walnut-sized pieces of dough into the bottom of an ungreased muffin tin, making a slight indent in the middle. Spoon in a heaping teaspoon of jam. To make the crumble, pulse the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor until well blended and crumbly—this will grind up the oats and nuts, making a finer crumb, but if you don't have a food processor, you can blend them in a bowl with a fork.

4

Sprinkle some crumb mixture around the edge of each cookie, leaving some jam uncovered to poke through. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan with a thin knife, and cool on a wire rack. Makes a dozen cookies.
