Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and margarine until light. Add the egg product and vanilla extract; beat until well blended. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add the flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Roll into 3/4 to 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. With your thumb, make a deep imprint in the center of each cookie. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown.

Immediately remove from the cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon preserves into the center of each

Note: If using dark cookie sheets, bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown.
