Heart Thumbprint Cookies

Heart Thumbprint Cookies

Looking for the sweetest Valentine’s Day treat? You might just break some hearts with these. Forget the laborious chocolate-covered strawberries (that aren’t even in season!), and make these adorable cookies instead.

Prep Time:10 mins
Total Time:35 mins
Yields:24

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g.) all-purpose flour
  • 6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g.) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup raspberry or strawberry jam

Directions

Step 1

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed (or in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat butter and sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla, then add dry ingredients and beat on medium-low speed until just combined.

Step 3

Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.), portion dough onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Roll each piece into a ball, then press your pinkie into ball at a slight angle. Press your pinkie in at the opposite angle to create a heart shape. Fill each heart with a scant teaspoon of jam.

Step 4

Bake cookies, rotating sheets top to bottom halfway through, until edges feel firm to the touch and have puffed slightly, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer sheets to a wire rack. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes:

To make the hearts, simply press one of your fingers (my pinky is the right size for me) into the unbaked cookie at an angle, then go in the other direction to create a “v” or heart. You can then fill your hearts with whatever type of jam you prefer. I like raspberry and strawberry, but cherry would also be so good in these, too.

These cookies don’t require any chill time, which means you can have something sweet to share with your loved ones in under an hour.

It’s comforting, wholesome, and perfect for a flavorful dinner that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Prep Time:10minutes mins
Cook Time:30minutes mins
Servings:6 Serves

Ingredients

  • ▢2 large thick Zucchini washed and unpeeled
  • ▢14 oz can crushed tomatoes or pasta sauce of choice/Passata
  • ▢18 oz frozen spinach thawed
  • ▢18 oz Ricotta
  • ▢2 x-large eggs
  • ▢3 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ▢3/4 cup mozzarella cheese divided
  • ▢1 pinch salt to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 210°C | 410°F. Prepare a shallow baking dish with half of the pasta sauce. Set aside. Using a mandolin, slice Zucchini lengthwise to create wide ribbons. Set aside.
  • Place spinach in a large bowl and squeeze out any excess liquid and discard. Mix in the ricotta, eggs, garlic and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are well combined. Mix through salt to taste.
  • Place two zucchini ribbons on top of each other (as pictured above); spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture onto the smallest end. Roll up to form a cannelloni and place into a shallow baking dish, open end facing up. Repeat with remaining zucchini and spinach mixture. Pour the remaining sauce over the ‘cannelloni,’ and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the zucchini is soft when tested with a fork or toothpick.

Notes

If you have a mandolin, the ribbons are created in seconds. But, you can create them with a cheese slicervegetable peeler or thinly sliced with a sharp knife.
