Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams strawberry jam
- 20 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, press a shallow indentation into the center of each ball to create a well.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of strawberry jam, being careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an optional decorative touch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
