Strawberry Thyme Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter (Room temperature; vegan butter may be used)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup All-purpose flour (Gluten-free flour may be used)
• 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
• Flour or sugar (For dusting the work surface so the dough does not stick)
• Strawberry jam (A bit for filling each cookie well; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the room-temperature butter in a mixing bowl. If using regular butter, soften it first; vegan butter may also be used.

2. 2

   Add the powdered sugar to the softened butter and cream them together until combined and smooth.

3. 3

   Add the flour and mix until everything is fully combined into a dough. Gluten-free flour may be used.

4. 4

   Add the dried thyme and fold it into the dough so it is dispersed evenly.

5. 5

   Dust the work surface with flour or sugar to prevent sticking. Roll out the dough to a little thicker than 1/2 inch.

6. 6

   Cut the dough into cookies using a cookie cutter; a champagne flute was used in the source.

7. 7

   Transfer the cut cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8. 8

   Use a spoon to create a small well in the middle of each cookie.

9. 9

   Add a bit of strawberry jam to each well.

10. 10

    Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

11. 11

    Let the cookies cool, then enjoy.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of strawberry jam, the number of cookies, or a cooling time. It mentions that both vegan butter and gluten-free flour worked well.
