# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently fold in the diced strawberries and strawberry jam until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
09 - Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while still warm.
10 - Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • The strawberry pieces stay tender and juicy inside each buttery bite
  • Pressing the chocolate kiss in while hot creates that perfect melty center everyone fights over
02 -
  • Don't overmix the dough or the strawberries will bleed and make the cookies purple
  • The chocolate kiss needs to be pressed in while cookies are still hot or it won't stick properly
03 -
  • Pat diced strawberries dry with paper towels before adding to prevent soggy dough
  • Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too sticky to scoop cleanly
