Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fluffy and pale, about 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with your palm.
- Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a small indentation. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Baking
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3–4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. If too thick, add a few drops of milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.
- Allow the glaze to set for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend. For freezing, freeze unglazed cookies for up to 3 months.
