Description

Delightful cookies filled with juicy strawberry goodness and topped with smooth cream cheese icing, reminiscent of the beloved breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon strawberry preserves or fresh strawberry compote
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
Milk, for icing
Melted butter, for brushing on cookies before baking

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Gradually add in the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick and cut out shapes. Place a teaspoon of strawberry preserves in the center of half the shapes.
Cover with another cookie shape, press the edges to seal with a fork, and brush with melted butter.
Bake on a baking sheet for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While cooling, whisk together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk. Drizzle icing over the cooled cookies and let set before serving.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and replace the egg with a flaxseed meal mixed with water. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later enjoyment.
