Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Line two 13x9 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter with the sugars using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed, increasing to medium high until lighter and creamy (2-3 minutes).
- Scrape down the bowl and mix in the egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Set the mixer to low and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Using a 1 tablespoon sized dough scoop, make dough balls and roll them smoothly between your palms.
- Place each dough ball 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently press a heart shape into the top of each ball of dough with a pinky finger.
- Chill the cookie sheets in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F after removing the cookie sheets from the freezer.
- Heat the raspberry jam in a small microwave safe bowl for 10-15 seconds until slightly runny.
- Using a 1/4 teaspoon or a very small spoon, fill the heart indent to the brim with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
- Bake each tray of cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
