Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

On the first day of Christmas my kitchen gave to me, Raspberry Thumbprint cookies!
One of my favorite Christmas cookies are these Raspberry Thumbprint cookies.  They are easy to make, look pretty, and can be very addicting.
Whip or Blend:
3/4 C. unsalted butter (softened)
2/3 C. white sugar (plus more for rolling)
Add:
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Then add:
1 3/4 C. white flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cookie sheets with either silicone mats or parchment paper.
Make 1 inch balls from dough and roll in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.  Press a thumbprint into the center of each ball and fill with a little raspberry jam (or whatever kind of jam that suits your fancy).
Bake cookies until the edges are slightly golden (about 15min.)  Remove from oven but allow to cool on cookie sheets to avoid breakage.
Enjoy!
