These perfectly baked cookie are chewy and buttery with a sweet strawberry filling tucked inside, just like your favorite Pop-Tart!

Ingredients

Filling

  • Strawberry preserves

Cookies

  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon butter vanilla emulsion (Vanilla extract will work fine, but the Lorann butter vanilla emulsion adds such a delicious buttery flavor!)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 1/2 cups flour

Glaze Topping

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp butter vanilla emulsion (can use vanilla extract)
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • Rainbow sugar sprinkles

Instructions

    1. For the cookies: Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
    2. Add in eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.
    3. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
    4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
    5. Scoop cookie dough into large balls. I use a #40 cookie scoop and combine two dough balls, which is 1.5 oz of cookie dough. Press ball of cookie dough into disc. Scoop 1-2 tsp of strawberry preserves and place in the center of the dough ball disc. Fold dough edges up around the filling, pinch the seams together, and roll dough until smooth. Filing should be fully wrapped in the cookie dough.
    6. Chill dough balls for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    7. Place large cookie dough balls several inches apart, as cookie will spread a little while baking. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. When cookies are removed from the oven, you can shape cookies into perfect circles using a large glass or large round cookie cutter by swirling the glass around the edges of the cookie.
    8. For the glaze topping: While cookies are cooling, make glaze topping. Combine powdered sugar, butter vanilla emulsion, and milk. Mix until combined.
    9. Once cookies are cooled, top cookies with 1 tbsp of glaze. Add sprinkles on top. Allow glaze to dry. Enjoy!
