Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
1 cup panko or fine white breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is light and smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a dough forms.
Scoop the dough into small, one-tablespoon sized balls and roll them firmly in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each.
Fill each indentation with a small amount of strawberry jam.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the butter is truly at room temperature for the best texture.
If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before coating in breadcrumbs.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a different flavor profile, you can swap the strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot preserves.
