Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and a tender texture; margarine or coconut oil can substitute for lactose-free versions.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cookies and helps create a light texture; brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients for structure; use unsweetened applesauce or flax eggs for a vegan twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds flavor complexity; almond extract can be a delightful alternative for a unique taste.
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Delivers primary structure, contributing to cookies' texture; whole wheat flour is a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent for a light texture; baking soda can be used but may change the flavor slightly.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor, balancing the sweetness of the cookies.
For the Filling
  • 0.75 cup Strawberry Jam The sweet, fruity center that adds moisture; feel free to explore raspberry or apricot jams as substitutes.
For Dusting
  • Powdered Sugar Adds a decorative touch and an extra hint of sweetness.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Jam Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Create a well in each cookie ball with your thumb or a teaspoon.
  7. Fill each well with about ½ teaspoon of strawberry jam.
  8. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming. Don't overfill the jam wells to prevent spillovers while baking. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
