Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 113 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons fresh strawberries, finely diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets spaced 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to gently flatten each ball slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the strawberry jam and finely diced fresh strawberries until well incorporated.
To assemble, spread about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie, flat side down.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
