Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional

  • ⅓ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasonings.
  3. Cream Butter and Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for the cookies.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamy mixture, mixing thoroughly to achieve a homogenous batter.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Scoop Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for slight spreading during baking.
  7. Add Strawberry Jam: Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam onto the top of each dough ball. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the jam into the cookie surface, creating marbled patterns.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft for a tender bite.
  9. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set perfectly.

Notes

  • These cookies can be stored at room temperature for a short period but are best refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • The dough balls can be frozen without jam; add jam just before baking to maintain the fresh fruit flavor.
  • If cookies spread too much, the dough was probably too warm or the butter overly soft; chill dough as needed before baking.
  • Other fruit jams like raspberry, blueberry, or mixed berry make excellent substitutes for strawberry jam.
