Instructions:
Preheat & prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the dough: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and shredded coconut until combined.
Shape cookies: Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Press a small indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb.
Fill with jam: Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam into each indentation.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy: Share with friends, family, or enjoy a sweet treat all to yourself!
Tips for Perfection:
Room temperature butter ensures a smooth dough and soft cookies.
Do not overfill with jam; a little goes a long way.
Optional twist: Try raspberry, apricot, or blueberry jam for a flavor variation.
