Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
Cookie Enhancements:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze and Filling:
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring an even surface for cookie placement.
- Using an electric mixer, whip butter and sugar until creamy and aerated, creating a smooth base. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- In a separate container, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, thoroughly mixing the dry components to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, gently flattening each dollop. Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie and add a precise drop of strawberry jam.
- Transfer the sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as an indicator of doneness.
- Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a wire rack, allowing complete cooling to room temperature.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Once cookies have cooled, elegantly drizzle the strawberry glaze across the surface, creating an appealing and delectable finish.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother creaming and better cookie texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality strawberry jam for the most vibrant and authentic flavor profile.
- Try different jam varieties like raspberry or mixed berry for unique taste variations.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
