Sift:

2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. sugar

Blend in:

3/4 c. butter
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix to form a dough. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 parts, shape each into a roll and place two rolls on each ungreased cookie sheet. Make a depression with thumb the length of the roll and put jam in the depression. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool, then cut in 1 inch diagonal cookies.
