Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg (or flax egg for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup strawberry jam

Sprinkles (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Incorporate the egg and vanilla into the mixture, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients.
Drop dough onto a lined baking sheet, pressing a small indentation in the center.
Spoon a dollop of strawberry jam into each cookie indentation.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool on a wire rack and decorate with sprinkles if desired.

Perfect for pairing with ice cream or coffee. Excellent for making cookie sandwiches.
