Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) and mix until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry gelatin powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie ball with your thumb or the back of a spoon.
  8. Fill the indentation with strawberry jam and place a chocolate truffle candy right in the center.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough if too sticky. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking. Use high-quality chocolate truffles for best flavor.
