1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ¹/₄ cups all-purpose flour

¹/₄ cup unsweetened cocoa

How to make

STEP 1

Combine sugar and butter in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until mixed. Add flour, cocoa and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2

Wrap dough in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4

Shape dough into 1 1/8-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb or back of spoon (edges may crack slightly). Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheets 1 minute. Cool completely on cooling rack.
STEP 5

Place 2 ounces white chocolate in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted; stir in preserves. Spoon heaping 1/4 teaspoon white chocolate mixture into center of each cookie.
STEP 6

Melt 4 ounces white chocolate and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie. Let stand until set.

Tip #1

Not all cookie sheets are created equal. Look for heavy-gauge aluminum or stainless steel sheets with low or no sides for even browning. Dark cookie sheets may cause cookies to overbrown.
