Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare Cookie Dough
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
Step 2: Assemble Cookies
Roll dough into 12 equal balls. Flatten slightly.
Place about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center of half the cookies.
Top with remaining cookies and pinch edges to seal.
Step 3: Bake
Bake 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set for 15 minutes.
