These Strawberry Jam Heart Cookies are ideal for any event. The sweet and tangy strawberry jam fills the buttery, tender cookies, making them irresistible. To add a touch of sweetness, dust them with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

1/4 tsp baking powder
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Dust with powdered sugar
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are just combined.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch on a lightly floured surface.
Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the cookies.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and press your thumb into the centre of each cookie.
Place a spoonful of strawberry jam in each indentation.
12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown, bake the cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
