Description
I used a no-fail sugar cookie recipe to make these wonderful heart-shaped cookies filled with strawberry jam. I know you will enjoy this recipe.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
