  2. Beat in eggs one at a time, adding vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually mix in the sifted flour and baking powder until just combined.
  4. Divide dough into two portions and roll between parchment paper to about ¼ inch thick. Cut into rectangles.
  5. Place half on parchment-lined sheets, add a spoonful of strawberry jam in the center of each, then top with remaining cutouts and seal edges with a fork.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely before glazing.

Keywords: Use room temperature butter for best texture. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies. Experiment by adding white chocolate chips or swapping some flour for almond flour for added flavor.
