Delight in the flavors of Strawberry Frosted Cherry Cookies that perfectly blend soft buttery texture with cherry jam and strawberry frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cherry jam or preserves
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons strawberry puree
  • pink food coloring (optional)
  • powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then blend in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, creating an indentation in the center.
  6. Fill each indentation with approximately 1 teaspoon of cherry jam and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the strawberry frosting by mixing 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of strawberry puree and pink food coloring until smooth.
  9. Spread a layer of strawberry frosting over each cooled cookie and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Soften butter adequately for easy creaming.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting.
  • Cherry jam can be substituted with raspberry or apricot jam.
  • Mix gently once dry ingredients are added to avoid tough cookies.
  • Watch for golden edges while baking to assess doneness.
