Strawberry Jam Sugar Cookies

Instructions

• Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. The mixture will be liquid.
• Vigorously whisk in the egg for about 1 minute, followed by the vanilla extract.
• Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the dry ingredients. Fold the dough until fully combined and smooth.
• Add spoonfuls of strawberry jam throughout the dough. Gently fold the dough 3-4 times to create ribbons of strawberry throughout the dough. Avoid overmixing, so the jam doesn’t fully blend in.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop up the dough and place it onto a plate or small pan lined with parchment paper.
• Place the uncovered dough in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and space out the cookie dough balls well apart.
• Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden and the center looks slightly underdone.
• Allow the cookies to cool, and you can add a little bit more of jam and a small sprinkle of salt on top of the cookies.
• Enjoy!
