Here Are The 5 Ingredients You'll Need To Make Heart-Shaped Thumbprint Cookies:
1. Butter
Butter helps make the cookies rich and gives them a melt-in-the-mouth texture. You can use regular salted butter for this purpose. It needs to be mixed nicely with sugar in a bowl before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
2. Sugar
Sugar is what gives these cookies their sweet flavour. For best results, consider using the usual granulated sugar or icing sugar. Both work well when mixed well with the butter, giving you a delightful taste. You can even save some for dusting the cookies at the end.
3. Egg
After mixing butter and sugar, the next ingredient you need to add is eggs. You just need to add the egg yolk, not the white. It helps in binding all the ingredients together and gives the cookies a nice texture. Make sure to add some vanilla extract along with it.
4. All-Purpose Flour
Once all the wet ingredients are combined, begin adding the all-purpose flour (maida) in small quantities. Use a sieve to incorporate it into the batter, as this will prevent any large lumps from forming. Mix well before pouring it into the baking tray.
5. Strawberry Jam
These thumbprint cookies have strawberry jam as the filling. To make the thumb impression, simply press your thumb into the cookie dough after flattening it on the baking tray. Do it at a 45-degree angle to create a heart shape, and then fill it with strawberry jam.
