The story behind
These cookies are the flavor of coffee afternoons. We were always looking for something simple yet sweet, and the combination of a buttery, rustic dough with the sweetness of local strawberry jam became a family favorite. It reminds me of the kitchen filled with the aroma of baking, capturing that homemade essence that works perfectly as a snack or breakfast, always maintaining a professional look with a homemade soul.
Instructions
-
11. Preheating and Prep: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
22. Creaming: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
-
33. Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
-
44. Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined; do not overmix, the dough should be dense.
-
55. Shaping: Take portions of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 cm apart. Gently press the center of each ball with your thumb or a small spoon to create an indentation.
-
66. Filling and Baking: Fill each indentation with a generous teaspoon of strawberry jam. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still tender. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for a professional and clean presentation.
