Tips for Perfect Jam Heart Cookies
To get the best buttery, crispy texture every time:- Use softened butter, not melted
- Don’t overmix the dough
- Chill the dough for 10 minutes if too soft
- Fill with only a small amount of jam
- Let cookies cool fully for the crispest texture
- After baking, you can touch up the center of cookies by adding a little more jam if the heart shape isn’t perfectly defined.
- Stir and strain the jam for a smooth, easy-to-fill texture.
