- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup fruit jam or preserves (such as raspberry, strawberry, or cherry)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the center.
- Top with another flattened tablespoon of dough and seal the edges carefully to enclose the jam completely.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use thick jam to avoid leakage during baking.
- Cookies can be dusted with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
