Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Gradually mix in flour and baking powder until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart.
Create indentations using your thumb and fill each with about half a teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown; cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

For varied flavors, substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or peach jam.
Chill dough for about 30 minutes if it’s too sticky while shaping.
