butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

🥗Healthier: fruit spread

💰Cheaper: store-brand jam

Fruit spread often has less sugar and can be more natural.

Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a pot over medium to low heat for about 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

Cool the melted butter in cold water for 4 to 5 minutes.

Add 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the cooled melted butter and mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until crumbly.

Use a teaspoon to shape the dough and place it on a buttered and floured baking sheet.

Bake in the oven at 325°F for approximately 15 minutes.

Let the cookies cool before assembling them with about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam on the flat side.

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
