The absolute cutest way to make heart thumbprints is like this! Instead of using your thumb, use the side of your pinky to make a cute heart-shaped indent My Strawberry Jam Cookies<\/strong> are not only adorable, they’re also delicious! Melt-in-your-mouth shortbread base with a sticky, sweet jelly center. These are cute as Valentine’s Day cookies, but I make them all year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Thumbprint Cookies With Jam Are Adorably Delicious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I realize these should have been on my Valentine’s Day menu, but I’m only sharing them today. We normally stick to chocolate desserts (like caramel chocolate chip cookies<\/a><\/span>) in February, so these heart thumbprints really deserve centerstage today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base is a soft, tender shortbread cookie that only contains a few basic ingredients. The only catch with this recipe is that you cannot skip the chill time. Because we want to preserve the heart shapes in the centers, after the cookies are shaped and filled with jam, they need to hit the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can make space in your fridge for a cookie sheet, then you can have these adorable strawberry jam cookies with heart centers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should we call these strawberry jam cookies ‘pinky-prints’ instead of thumbprints?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
