Filled Cookies with Sweet Glaze Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fruit jam or preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite)
For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookies:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Shape and Fill the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each dough ball.
- Fill each indentation with a small amount of jam or preserves.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- Glaze the Cookies:
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spoon the glaze over the tops of the cookies, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Let the glaze set for about 20 minutes before serving.
These filled cookies with sweet glaze are perfect for any occasion and offer a delightful combination of buttery cookie, fruity filling, and creamy glaze. Enjoy your baking!
