Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 1 cup strawberry jam
FROSTING
- 1/2 brick cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 3 cups powder sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add butter and both sugars (white and light brown) to the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy.
- Reduce speed and add the egg and vanilla. Next, mix in the salt and baking soda and flour.
- Divide the sugar cookie dough out into 12 equal portions, about 1/4 cup each. Roll into balls and place 6 on each prepared baking sheet.
- With the back of a spoon or cookies scoop, make a deep indentation in each dough ball. Fill these indentations each with a Tablespoon of strawberry jam.
- Fold the cookie dough up to seal in the jam and gently roll back into a ball shape, to smooth them.
- Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. If the cookies begin to crack a little that’s ok. When cookies are done baking (they’ll be a light golden brown), remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
FROSTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Add cream cheese and butter to a mixing bowl and cream together on until smooth.
- Reduce speed and add powdered sugar one cup at a time.
- Mix in the vanilla and heavy whipping cream until smooth.
- Scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a large round tip. Start in the middle of each cookie, frosting towards the outside in a spiral pattern.
- Top with sprinkles and take a bite!!
