Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to a creamy consistency
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar giving a sweet touch
  • 1 large egg to bind everything together
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract offering a background note of warmth
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional, for a hint of nuttiness
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour the base for our cookies
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder ensuring a perfect rise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance flavors
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder adding a delightful fruity note
  • 2 tablespoons milk making the dough supple

For the Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam for filling the cookie wells
  • 20 pieces chocolate truffle candies the sweet surprise in the center
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry gelatin powder.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, placing them on a lined baking sheet with 2 inches of space in between.
  • Press your thumb or the back of a spoon into the center of each cookie ball to create an indentation.
  • Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of strawberry jam.
  • Place a chocolate truffle candy in the center of the jam.

Baking

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a deeper strawberry flavor, use homemade strawberry jam. You can substitute chocolate truffles with other sweet toppings as desired.
