Strawberry jam cookies soft and delicious. Homemade cookies are the best to dunk in milk at breakfast, perfect with a cup of tea, or simply the perfect treat when we need a touch of sweetness. The recipe I want to tell you about today was born by chance from the desire to try new flower-shaped molds, and what better opportunity than to make some cookies! A thin layer of strawberry jam and in just a few minutes, you can take fragrant and irresistible Jam Cookies out of the oven for your family’s delight. The shortcrust pastry recipe is Yogurt Shortcrust Pastry, softer than the classic shortcrust and also lighter, with less butter. But, if you prefer, you can choose to use classic shortcrust pastry, or why not, a butter-free shortcrust pastry. So let’s head to the kitchen and prepare some delicious Jam Cookies together

How to Prepare Spring Cookies
You can prepare the dough either by hand or with a mixer. Pour the flour, baking powder, sugar, and butter into small pieces into a bowl. Mix and also add an egg and the yogurt.
Knead well. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead to form a smooth and soft dough, adding a little more flour if needed. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 to 1/6 inch. Cut out several rounds with a 1.5 to 2-inch round cutter.
Use another small flower-shaped cutter to cut out small flower shapes to decorate the cookies. Spread a teaspoon of jam on each round and place the flowers on top.
Arrange the prepared cookies slightly apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the Cookies in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 18-20 minutes. Let them cool and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
