The Best cookies with jam recipe

I’m so excited to share this cookies with jam recipe with you all. I’ve been making these cookies for years, and they’re always a hit with my family and friends. The combination of the crunchy cookie and the sweet, fruity jam is just perfect.

And the best part is that they’re so easy to make – just mix together some butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and vanilla, then spoon the dough onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Once they’re cool, you can sandwich a layer of jam between two cookies and serve. My kids love helping me make these cookies, and they’re always asking for seconds (or thirds!)

I’ve served these at birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and even just as a quick snack after school. They’re perfect for any occasion. Plus, they’re relatively healthy compared to other baked goods – the jam provides a boost of antioxidants and vitamins from the fruit, and the oats in the cookie dough add some extra fiber.

I like to think that these cookies are not only delicious but also a little bit good for you too! As I mentioned earlier, my kids love helping me make these cookies. They love getting their hands messy with the dough and watching them transform into perfectly baked treats.

It’s such a fun activity for us to do together. And when we’re done baking, we always have a few extras on hand to enjoy later – which is great because they freeze beautifully. Just place them in an airtight container or plastic bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling

1/2 cup your favorite jam or preserves

For Rolling

1/4 cup granulated sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
5Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
6The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
7In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
8Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
9The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
10Divide the dough into two equal pieces.
11On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
12Use a round cookie cutter, about 2 inches in diameter, to cut out circles of dough.
13Place half of the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet.
14Spread about 1 teaspoon of jam onto the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
15Place the remaining dough circles on top of the jam, pressing the edges gently to seal.
16Use a fork to crimp the edges, creating a decorative pattern.
17The cookies should be sealed tightly to prevent the jam from leaking out during baking.
18Roll the cookies in granulated sugar, ensuring they are evenly coated.
19Place the cookies about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
20Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
21The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
22Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
23This will help them set properly and prevent them from breaking apart.
