💘 Valentine’s Day Heart Thumbprint Cookies 💘 These buttery almond flour cookies are melt-in-your-mouth soft and filled with sweet jam, making them the perfect Valentine’s Day treat! They’re super easy to make and even cuter with their little heart shape. 🥹✨ 🔥 Jam Variations to Try: 🍓 Classic: Strawberry or raspberry for that nostalgic PB&J vibe 🍒 Rich & Decadent: Cherry or blackberry for a deeper fruit flavor 🍋 Citrusy Twist: Lemon curd or orange marmalade for a bright kick 🥜 Nutty & Sweet: Mix jam with a little peanut butter for a fun twist Here’s how to make them! 📌 Ingredients: • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (measured correctly!) • ¾ cup almond flour • ½ tsp salt • ½ cup butter, softened • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar • ½ tsp vanilla extract • ¼ tsp almond extract • ⅓ cup jam (I used blueberry, but any works!) 📌 Instructions: 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2️⃣ Whisk flours + salt together in a bowl. 3️⃣ In another bowl, cream butter & sugar until fluffy, then mix in vanilla & almond extracts. 4️⃣ Add the dry ingredients to the wet & mix until the dough forms (it may look crumbly at first, but keep mixing!). 5️⃣ Scoop 1 tbsp of dough, roll into a ball, and place on the baking sheet. 6️⃣ Use your fingers to make a heart-shaped indentation & fill it with jam. 7️⃣ Bake for 11-12 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and let cool! 💡 Tips for Perfect Cookies: ✨ If the dough seems crumbly, it’s normal! It should press together easily. ✨ Measuring matters! Use a kitchen scale or the scoop & level method for flour. ✨ Store in an airtight container: 4 days at room temp, 7 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 2 months. Would you go classic strawberry or try something fun like lemon curd?! 🍋💖 #ValentinesCookies #thumbprintcookies https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/valent...
