Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 cup strawberry jam, seedless
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp whole milk
Instructions
Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and flatten slightly on a baking sheet.
Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie and add a teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent excess spreading.
Preheat oven to 350°F and bake cookies for 12 minutes or until edges are set.
Cool completely before whisking powdered sugar and milk to create the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential to ensure the jam center stays contained during baking. Use a seedless strawberry jam for the smoothest texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
