Units Scale

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks butter (chilled)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 jar strawberry preserves ((recipe uses about 1216 tbsp))

Vanilla Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together your flour, salt, baking powder. Set aside and start creaming your butter and sugars together in a bowl. 
  2. Cube your chilled butter and toss in a standing mixer bowl. On low speed, cream your butter until it is a whipped texture. 
  3. Add in your sugars and mix on medium speed until creamed together. Make sure all butter is evenly blended into the sugars. 
  4. Add two eggs and almond extract to the creamed butter and mix on medium-high speed. Pour in your flour mixture in 1/3 portions, waiting to make sure the flour mixture is incorporated completely before adding more. 
  5. Once your mixture is fully blended together, remove mixing bowl from the stand mixer. Add in your graham pieces. Using a wooden spoon, mix everything into the dough.
  6. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 tbsp of dough into your hand, roll and You want to make sure there is about 2 inches of space in between each cookie, so they don’t touch as they bake and spread.  press your thumb into each dough to create a spot to put the preserve filling. Scoop 1 tbsp jelly filling into each thumbprint. Take another scoop of dough, roll into a ball and flatten with hands to place on top of each cookie. Place on prepared baking sheet a couple inches apart and place in freezer for 30 minutes to chill. 
  7. While the cookies are chilling, preheat your oven to 375℉. After your cookies are chilled, place the cookies in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown on the top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Vanilla Powdered Sugar Glaze

  1. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. To thin, add milk 1 tsp at a time. To thicken, add a little more powdered sugar until you have reached a thicker consistency. It should still be spreadable.
  2. Spoon one large spoonful of icing on each cookie and top with fun multicolored sprinkles. The icing will set after about 10 minutes and they will be ready to enjoy!!
