Aren’t these cookies perfect for Valentines Day? Who wouldn’t want a buttery and crumbly cookie? These heart shaped cookies are delicious on their own. But I decided to fill mine with peanut butter and jelly. And weren’t they delicious! They were perfect. These heart cookies are also perfect for any occasion. Just cut the dough into what ever shape you want and there you go… a cookie for every occasion!

Ingredients needed

  • Butter: Unsalted butter at room temperature.
  • Sugar:
  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla extract
  • Flour: You will use all purpose flour and almond flour. Make sure to sift the flour.
  • Filling of your choice: I used peanut butter and jelly. I have also used a hazelnut filling in the past. Any filling will work perfectly here.
  • Chocolate: Any good melting chocolate. You can use white chocolate, semi sweet, dark, or milk.

Making the heart shaped cookies

  1. Whisk dry ingredients. In a medium bowl whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Sift until there are no clumps left. Set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar. Beat until the ingredients are combined and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is combined.
  4. Add dry ingredients. Beat on low speed until the flour is well incorporated into the cookie dough.
  5. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  6. Roll and cut out the cookies.
  7. Bake and cool. Bake the cookies until they are slightly golden brown around the edges.
  8. Fill and drizzle. Spread filling on to one cookie, then top with another cookie. Drizzle with melted chocolate.

Tip for success

  • Refrigerating the dough is really important. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. This helps the dough come together and firm up. It makes the dough easier to roll without sticking. It also helps the dough to not spread while baking. If the dough is is really hard to roll, let the dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. The dough should be cold, but easy to roll.
  • Refrigerate the dough in between rolling. I cut the dough in half. Place one half in the refrigerator and roll the other half. Refrigerating the other half helps the dough not soften too much. If it’s too soft it will be sticky and hard to roll.
  • Sift the flours! Sifting the flours gives the cookie and even texture ones it’s baked. Make sure there are no lumps of almond flour in the flour mixture.
  • Measure the flour correctly: You don’t want to add more flour than needed. This can result in a dry cookie. Measure the flour by fluffing the flour, then scooping the flour into the measuring cup using a spoon. Then leveling it with a butter knife.
  • Fill with any filling! The possibilities are endless. You can fill them with chocolate, peanut butter, jelly… or eat them as is.
