Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 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
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Filling and Decoration:
- ¾ cup strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten into a 2-inch disc and create a small well in the center.
- Add the filling: Fill half of the cookie discs with about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam in the well.
- Assemble the cookies: Top each jam-filled cookie with another disc, sealing and crimping the edges with a fork.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional decoration: Drizzle with icing made from powdered sugar and milk, then decorate with sprinkles.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
