Butter Almond Thumbprint Cookies

1 cup butter, room temp
2/3 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract (you could try a little more, maybe? up to 1 tsp)
2 cups flour
Jam of some sort

Cream the butter in a mixer until beaten.

Add the sugar and extracts and beat an additional couple of minutes, scraping the bowl, until thoroughly mixed.

Turn the mixer off, add all of the flour, and then turn on low until mixed together.

Compact the dough into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for, I dunno, an hour? A day? Seemed to work either way.

Roll into balls of dough, press into the center to leave a little hole.

Fill little hole with a dollop of jam (don't overfill).

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes on a silpat mat. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
