Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Mix in the egg yolk until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add this to the wet mixture until combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared sheets and create thumbprint indentations in each.
Fill each indentation with about half a teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden; cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Melt dark chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave and drizzle over each cookie's thumbprint.
