Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; for a dairy-free option, substitute with margarine.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and structure; coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds everything together; replace with flax eggs for a vegan twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor depth; almond extract can bring a unique twist.
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Creates cookie structure; opt for whole wheat flour for a healthier choice.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent; ensures freshness is key for best results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors; a must-have for enhancing taste.
For the Jam Filling
  • 0.75 cup Strawberry Jam Provides sweet, fruity goodness; mix it up with any fruit jam you love.
Optional Dusting
  • Powdered Sugar Adds a delightful touch of sweetness and beautiful presentation.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract and blend for another minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  6. Press a small well into each cookie ball and fill it with about ½ teaspoon of strawberry jam.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
