Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten into discs, and arrange half on the prepared baking sheet. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of jelly in the center of each disc.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
