Rosenmunnar is a quintessential Swedish cookie recipe that can be traced back to the mid-18th century. These cookies are also known as 'jam prints cookies' and are popular during holidays such as Christmas and Easter. These soft and tender cookies have a burst of sweet fruit jam in every bite. The best thing about this recipe is you can pick your favorite fruit jam to use such as strawberry, raspberry, apricot, or anything you prefer! These cookies are perfect for serving with hot tea, coffee, or milk.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
2.	In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
3.	Add in the sifted flour gradually and mix until a dough forms.
4.	Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5.	Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to press the center of the dough ball gently to create a small indentation.
6.	Spoon in a generous amount of fruit jam in each indentation.
7.	Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
8.	Cool the cookies on a wire rack completely before indulging.
