Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 Cup Butter Softened
2 Cups Granulated Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
4 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
½ Teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Seedless Strawberry Jam

For the Frosting

½ Cup Butter Softened
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Pinch Salt
2-3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream

For the Crunch Topping

20 Golden Oreos
1 Package Strawberry Jello 3 Ounces
¼ Cup Butter Melted

Instructions

For the Cookies

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Then mix in eggs, vanilla, strawberry jam, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add flour until just combined. Do not overmix. It is okay if the dough is crumbly at this point.
Divide cookie dough into 12 equal portions and roll into a ball. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake for 15-18 minutes. It's okay if the center still looks a little underdone it will firm up as it cools. Cool on pan for 3-4 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting

Beat butter, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar a little at a time. Add cream as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Spread onto cookies.

For the Topping

In a large baggie with a rolling pin or food processor crush Oreos into crumbs. Pour into a bowl and mix with butter and Jello Mix.
Press onto frosted cookies and enjoy!
