Strawberry Thumbprint Pudding Cookies

1 c. butter, softened

1 1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 t. vanilla

2 1/2 c. SR flour

3.5 oz. box instant vanilla pudding mix, dry

1 c. strawberry jam*

Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugar together with mixer. Add eggs, vanilla, and pudding mix. Continue mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Add flour a little at a time until incorporated. Scoop out dough by the tablespoonful and shape into balls. Place on baking sheet 2" apart. Use your finger or a wooden spoon to press each ball with an indentation. Spoon jam into each indentation. Bake 12-15 minutes or until set and lightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

*other flavors of jam, caramel, or chocolate may be used as filling instead.
