Making the Cookies

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes on medium speed), scraping the bowl as needed.
3. Mix in the egg, followed by vanilla extract and food coloring.
4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, then blend in 1/4 cup strawberry jam until fully combined—no visible streaks should remain.
5. Divide dough into 12 portions, rolling each into a ball. Coat with the remaining 3 tbsp sugar and press an indentation into the center of each.
6. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 2 1/2 hours.
7. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment.
8. Transfer chilled dough balls onto the baking sheets, spacing them 3 to 4 inches apart.
9. Fill indentations with remaining jam and bake for 15 minutes, until edges turn slightly golden while tops remain pale. Cool completely.

Preparing the Glaze & Finishing the Cookies

1. While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, jam, water, and food coloring until smooth.
2. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies.
3. Let set, then enjoy your jam-packed strawberry delight!
