Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.

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

Using your thumb, create an indentation in the center of each ball.

Fill each indentation with your choice of jam.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
