Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For filling and decoration:

  • 1/2 cup raspberry or strawberry jam
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Press two overlapping indentations into the center of each cookie to create a heart shape.
  4. Fill and bake: Fill each heart-shaped indent with jam. Bake for 12–14 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Finish: Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • You can use any fruit jam you like—raspberry, strawberry, apricot, or even a mixed berry blend.
  • For neater heart shapes, use the handle of a spoon to guide the indent.
