Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper
With mixer on medium-high, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the mixing bowl as necessary.
Reduce mixer speed to medium and add the egg and vanilla and beat until blended.
Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until a cookie dough forms.
Divide dough into 14 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. You can use a ¼ cup cookie scoop (# 16) for easy measuring.
Using the back of a rounded tablespoon make a deep hole in the center of each dough ball.
Divide the jam evenly between the cookie dough, filling each center with about 1 teaspoon strawberry jam. Carefully roll the dough up and over the jam and seal by gently rolling until smooth. Be sure that the jam is sealed in the center of the cookie dough.
Baking in batches, arrange cookie dough about 3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies are golden. The cookies may actually begin to crack as they bake.
Cool cookies on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
