Beautiful Cookies: Pineapple Jam Tarts

Pineapple Tarts are a traditional Chinese New Year treat.  I made my own version based on a thumbprint cookie recipe.

2 cups flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
Filling: I used homemade pineapple lemon marmalade.

Mix until well blended.
Shape into walnut sized balls and press a deep indent into the middle (I used a wine cork to press holes).
Bake on parchment paper or lightly greased cookie sheet at 350 for 18 minutes.
Immediately when you remove cookies from oven, place a tsp of jam in the indent.  Transfer to rack to cool.
