Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon strawberry extract optional
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract or a few drops of red food coloring for color
  • For the Chocolate Drizzle:
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Fresh strawberries washed and cut into halves or quarters

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the Cookie Dough:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract (if using). Mix until combined.
  • Stir in the strawberry jam or preserves.
  • Form the Cookies:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until the dough forms.
  • Scoop the dough into balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each dough ball.
  • Bake the Cookies:
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Strawberry Icing:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and strawberry extract (or food coloring) until smooth.
  • Make the Chocolate Drizzle:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Decorate the Cookies:
  • Drizzle the strawberry icing over the cooled cookies in a swirl pattern.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the iced cookies in a zigzag pattern.
  • Garnish with Fresh Strawberries:
  • Top each cookie with a fresh strawberry half or quarter.
  • Let the Drizzle Set:
  • Allow the cookies to sit for 10-15 minutes for the icing and chocolate to set.
