Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g beurre froid
- 100 g sucre glace
- 2 jaunes d'œufs
- 300 g farine tout usage
- 1/2 cuillère à café extrait de vanille
- 200 g confiture de fraises
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- In a large bowl, combine the cold butter and icing sugar. Mix gently until combined; it's fine if it remains a bit chunky.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Mix gently until just incorporated; do not overmix.
- Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour in three additions, folding it in gently until just combined and the dough pulls away from the bowl.
- Using two teaspoons, drop small balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart. Make a small indentation in each cookie’s center for the jam.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are set but soft. Watch closely to avoid overbaking.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
