Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Cut-Out Cookie Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (10 ounce) jar strawberry jam
¼ cup powdered sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream sugar and butter with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl and add to butter mixture. Mix well.
  • Put a handful of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll to desired thickness. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Put the rolled dough, including the parchment paper, on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes or longer. Repeat the process with scraps after cutting cookies.
  • Cut 24 heart-shaped cookies of the same size from the dough. Use a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut a second hole in half of the cookies; this will be the window where the jam will show through. Transfer the cut cookies to a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to allow to cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of jam into the centers of the cookies without the heart-cut centers. Sprinkle powdered sugar on the rest of the cookies with the heart-cut centers, and mount onto the cookies with jam.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: Softened butter is easier to cream with sugar, resulting in a smoother and more consistent cookie dough. To soften butter quickly, microwave it on low power for a few seconds or let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the cookie dough helps to firm it up, making it easier to handle and roll out. This also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that all of your cookies are the same size and shape. This will help them to bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and chewy.

Conclusion:

Heart of My Heart Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture and sweet, buttery flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie recipe, give these Heart of My Heart Cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
