Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add in the egg yolk and pure vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of Smucker's Strawberry Preserves.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, lightly dust them with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
Serve and enjoy these delightful strawberry angel cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
