Instructions
Creating Strawberry Pop Tart Sugar Cookies is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these steps to make your batch:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Make an Indentation: Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
8. Fill with Strawberry Jam: Place about a teaspoon of strawberry jam into the indentation of each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The icing should be thick but pourable.
12. Ice the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the top and add sprinkles if desired.
