Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, then flatten into a disc with a small well in the center.
- Fill half of the discs with about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam and top with another disc; seal by crimping edges with a fork.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Optionally drizzle icing made from powdered sugar mixed with milk on cooled cookies, then decorate with sprinkles.
