Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is well incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
**Step 4: Incorporate Flour**
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, one cup at a time, and mix until a soft dough forms.
**Step 5: Form Dough Balls**
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each ball.
**Step 6: Create Thumbprint Indentation**
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Ensure it's deep enough to hold the strawberry jam.
**Step 7: Fill with Strawberry Jam**
Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam or preserves into each indentation. Be careful not to overfill.
**Step 8: Bake**
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
**Step 9: Cool on Baking Sheets**
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
**Step 10: Optional Dusting**
Once the cookies have cooled, you can dust them with additional powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
**Step 11: Serve and Enjoy**
Serve these delightful Strawberry Butter Cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy the burst of strawberry flavor in each bite!
These cookies are perfect for various occasions, including tea time, dessert, or as a sweet treat for special gatherings.
