Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • Strawberry preserves (about 1/2 cup, for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for sprinkling or optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter with 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 3 tbsp of heavy cream until combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a cookie cutter to cut an even number of cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely.
  9. Spread 1 tsp of strawberry preserves onto the bottom of one cookie and top with another to make a sandwich.
  10. Optional: Dust the finished cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.

Notes

If the dough feels sticky, chill it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before rolling it out. For a fresh twist, consider making a strawberry compote for the filling during strawberry season.
