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