Ingredients:
\n1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
\n\u2154 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
\n2 large egg yolks
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
\n\u00bd teaspoon baking powder
\n\u00bc teaspoon salt
\n1 \u00bd cups shredded unsweetened coconut (for rolling)
\n\u00bc cup strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)<\/p>\n

Prepare the Dough:
\nIn a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
\nAdd the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
\nCombine Dry Ingredients:
\nIn a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
\nGradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but hold together.
\nChill the Dough:
\nCover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up. This step is essential to ensure the dough doesn\u2019t spread too much while baking.
\nRoll the Dough:
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
\nPlace the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the shredded coconut, pressing gently to coat evenly.
\nCreate the Thumbprint:
\nPlace the coconut-covered dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb (or the back of a spoon) to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
\nFill the indentation with about \u00bd teaspoon of strawberry jam (or more if you prefer a larger jam-filled center).
\nBake the Cookies:
\nBake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
\nRemove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n
