- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp double cream or heavy cream
- 220 g plain flour (all-purpose)

Instructions
Making the Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until thick and creamy (about 2 to 3 minutes of mixing).
- Beat in the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Slowly stir in the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the chilled dough into approximately 90 g portions, roll each in granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on baking sheets and bake for 15–18 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with vanilla extract and icing sugar until soft peaks form.
- Add cream cheese to the whipped mixture and whip until thick and smooth.
Assembling the Cookies
- Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous amount of the whipped cream cheese frosting on each cookie.
- Top with a dollop of strawberry jam.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh strawberries over the jam.
- Dust with biscuit crumbs or graham cracker crumbs and serve.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To rejuvenate soft cookies, heat briefly in the oven or air fryer.
