¼ cup powdered sugar

# Steps to Follow:

In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix until smooth. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually blend into the wet ingredients. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each and add ½ teaspoon filling in the center. Fold edges over, re-roll gently, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Use a toothpick to swirl the filling into the dough for a marbled effect.

Lightly drag a toothpick through the filling to create defined swirls, avoiding overmixing.
