Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Strawberry jam (or jam of your choice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and slightly fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 7

Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to press an indentation into the center of each cookie dough ball.

Step 8

Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
