Directions
-
In a large bowl, cream together the salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until thick and creamy. This step is crucial as it builds the foundation for your tremendous cookie flavor.
-
Beat in the large egg, double cream, and vanilla extract until well combined, ensuring each ingredient is beautifully blended to enhance the cookies’ overall taste.
-
Stir in the dry ingredients, specifically the plain flour, baking powder, and baking soda, until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the cookie’s soft texture.
-
Chill the dough for about 1 hour. Chilling helps the cookies retain their shape during baking, resulting in a tremendous final product.
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
-
Divide the chilled dough into approximately 90 g portions, roll each portion in granulated sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. This will give the cookies a delightful crunch.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until soft and golden. Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them to be just firm to the touch yet still soft in the center.
-
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. This step is essential for the texture you desire.
-
For the frosting, whip cold heavy cream with the vanilla extract and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Then, carefully add cream cheese and whip until the mixture is thick and smooth, creating a frosting that is both creamy and stable.
-
To assemble, spread a generous layer of frosting on each cooled cookie. Top each with a dollop of strawberry jam, a sprinkle of chopped fresh strawberries, and a light dusting of biscuit or graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
