Here’s a fun recipe for Strawberry Pop-Tart Sugar Cookies—sweet, fruity, and perfect for a nostalgic treat:
🍓 Strawberry Pop-Tart Sugar Cookies
🧾 Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Filling:
- ½ cup strawberry jam (seedless preferred)
For the Icing (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- Sprinkles for decoration
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) and gradually mix into butter mixture.
- Roll out dough to about ½ inch thick. Cut into rectangles (~3×2 inches).
- Place half of the rectangles on the baking sheet.
- Add a small spoonful of strawberry jam in the center of each rectangle.
- Top with another rectangle and gently press edges to seal.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool.
- Optional icing: Mix powdered sugar and milk to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies and add sprinkles.
✨ Tips
- For extra “Pop-Tart” style, use a fork to crimp edges and make small vent holes on top.
- Use homemade or good-quality jam for the best flavor.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week.
If you want, I can give you a shortcut version using refrigerated sugar cookie dough that’s faster but still tastes like strawberry Pop-Tarts.
Do you want me to do that?
