# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
06 -
Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Flatten into 2-inch discs and form a small well in the center of half the discs.
07 -
Place about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the well of each prepared disc.
08 -
Top jam-filled discs with plain dough discs. Seal and crimp the edges closed using a fork.
09 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10 -
If desired, whisk powdered sugar with milk to form an icing. Drizzle over cooled cookies and garnish with sprinkles.
# Extra Tips:

To ensure a crisp edge and soft center, avoid over-mixing the dough after adding dry ingredients.
