Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113 gr) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (65 gr) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups (160 gr) cake flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp milk powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp strawberry jam

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 320℉/160℃ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Using a mixer or spatula, mix butter and confectioners sugar until combined. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Sift in cake flour, cornstarch, milk powder, and salt. Mix with a spatula until well incorporated.
  • Scoop 1-1 1/2 teaspoon of dough and roll into balls. Arrange the balls onto the prepared pan.
  • Make an indentation in the middle of each ball with the back of a measuring spoon or a small cylindrical tool.
  • Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies slightly.
  • Transfer strawberry jam into a piping bag. Pipe the jam into the middle of the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for another 5-7 minutes or until the jam is set. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to measure the flour correctly if using volume measurement. The cookies will end up too dry if you add too much flour. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level the top with a knife or other straight-edged utensil.
