Take small portions of dough (about 1.6 oz / 45 g) and shape them into small oval balls, pressing them slightly.
Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. With a teaspoon, make a small indentation in the center of each cookie and fill it with a little jam.
Sprinkle the pearl sugar around the jam, creating a crunchy border. Preheat the oven to 356°F and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
Once baked, let them cool completely on a rack. The big jam cookies with pearl sugar are ready to be enjoyed!
