Ingredients
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract (optional)
¾ cup strawberry jam or preserves
Sprinkles, for decorating
Optional Icing
Powdered sugar
Milk (a few teaspoons, as needed)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar for 3–4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
Combine Dough
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Shape Cookies
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten into a 2-inch disc and create a small well in the center.
Fill
Fill half the discs with 1 teaspoon strawberry jam.
Seal
Top with another dough disc. Press edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Decorate (Optional)
Drizzle with icing made from powdered sugar and milk, then finish with sprinkles.
Notes
Don’t overfill with jam to prevent leaking
Chill dough for 15 minutes if it becomes too soft
Almond extract enhances the “Pop Tart” flavor but is optional
