# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and blend until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 -
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
06 -
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Make a small indentation in the center of each dough round. Fill the indent with a small portion of the cream cheese mixture and a dollop of strawberry jam.
07 -
Arrange the filled dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:

Let the cookies cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set for optimal texture.
