I don’t think I’ve ever come across cookies as delicious as these are, and I’m not just saying that. These are the kind of cookies you want to bring with you when your boyfriend takes you to meet his parents for the first time. These are also the kind of cookies you take to your neighbors when they’ve lost a dog. And yes, you can definitely make these cookies just to enjoy them yourself, like I did.
While some people consider these “holiday season cookies”, I don’t. I’m happily making these year round!
Ingredients
½ cup Land O’ Lakes unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Domino sugar
1 Eggland’s egg
1 ½ cups Gold Medal flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ cup your favorite jam (I like peach)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Make sure you’re using the high rack. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add to the previous mixture and work with a wooden spoon until a ball forms. Use your hands if you have to!
Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Flour your workspace and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. With a cookie cutter, cut hearts in the dough and place on the baking sheet. Space the cookies about 1 inch apart from each other. With a small cookie cutter, cut a circle or a heart in the centre of half the cookies.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Don’t let them brown! Remove from sheet and let cool.
Cover the hole-less cookies with jam. Top with a cutout cookie. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
