Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • Optional: sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide dough in half and roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut dough into rectangular cookie shapes.
  8. Place half of the cookies on prepared baking sheets. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the center of each cookie.
  9. Top with another cookie rectangle and gently press the edges to seal.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  11. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make glaze.
  13. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and sprinkle with optional sprinkles if desired. Let glaze set before serving.

Notes

For an extra flaky texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling. You can also use different jam flavors like raspberry or apricot for variation.
