butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is lower in saturated fat and dairy-free.

jam

🥗Healthier: fruit preserves

💰Cheaper: store-brand jam

Fruit preserves often have less sugar and more fruit.

Cream together powdered sugar and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing until combined.

Add egg yolk and mix again until incorporated.

Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing until the dough comes together.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls, then roll in granulated sugar.

Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Pat the tops of the cookie balls slightly and create an indentation in the center with an index finger.

Fill each indentation with a small amount of jam (marmalade).

Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F for an unspecified time until done.
