Heart Shaped Thumbprint Cookies with Strawberry Jam
These Thumbprint Heart Cookies are made from a classic sugar cookie dough and filled with strawberry jam. They are a delightful treat for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 piece egg yolk
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully combined
- Add all-purpose flour and salt into the butter mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter then roll into a bowl of sugar. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Gently press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a heart shape. Be careful not to press all the way through the dough.
- Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam (or your chosen jam) into the heart shaped cavity of each cookie. Do not overfill, as the jam may spread while baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Share and enjoy!
