Strawberry Glaze Cookies (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened.
02 - 1 cup sugar.
03 - 2 large eggs.
04 - 2 tsp vanilla extract.
05 - 3 cups all-purpose flour.
06 - 1 tsp baking powder.
07 - ½ tsp salt.
08 - ½ cup strawberry jam.
09 - 1 cup powdered sugar.
10 - 2 tbsp strawberry jam.
11 - 2 tbsp milk.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
04 - Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing each one down slightly to flatten. Place a small dot of strawberry jam in the center of each cookie.
05 - Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
06 - For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies for a sweet finish.

Notes:

01 - Let the cookies cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
02 - You can adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk for a thinner drizzle or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
