Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Beat until creamy and light, about 3-4 minutes. Add one egg and one teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gradually incorporate 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in ½ cup of strawberry jam until evenly distributed.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden, and centers are slightly soft.
- While cookies bake, prepare cream cheese frosting by beating 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until light and airy.
- Frost cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag.

Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 2 hours is crucial for the cookies' texture. Always use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
