1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition along with vanilla extract.
Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just mixed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, flatten into discs, and create wells for jam filling.
Fill half with approximately 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam and top with another disc, sealing edges.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden; cool on wire racks.
