VDAY COOKIE IDEA ♥️🍪

hey zesties 🍋!! with both valentine’s day ❤️ AND chinese new year 🧧 coming up, i decided to share a cute idea for some heart thumbprint cookies 🍪 that can be used for both occasions. if you’re looking for a cute handmade gift for your partner or a snack to bring to your next family gathering, consider this recipe!! can even ask your partner to bake with you for a wholesome vday date heheh 🥣

when i was planning to bake these, i realised i was missing one key ingredient (cake flour) and i didn’t have time to go buy it, but thankfully i had Quest to help me out in between my errands. i put up a quest for cake flour and managed to find someone to help me get it while i was already out for my lash appointment (cny prep things haha)!! it was such a quick deal and was so happy to be prepared for these bakes 👌🤩

i got the recipe from wanna come with? online and they are so cute and yummy!

all you need is:

> 340g unsalted butter

> 120g of icing/powdered sugar, sifted

> ¼ tsp salt

> 1 large egg

> 1 large egg yolk

> 1 tsp vanilla extract

> 300g cake flour, sifted

> 1-2 cups jam of your choice

steps:

1. beat butter, sugar and salt together until light and fluffy.

2. add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. add vanilla and beat to incorporate.

3. add the flour and mix until barely combined. if you feel that the batter is too sticky, consider adding a bit more flour to thicken it up!!

4. using wet hands/fingers, roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet with ample space in between each other (they spread a lot!)

5. make two indents with wet fingers (like a heart shape) and fill with the jam.

6. bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are light golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking time.

some tips: if you’re looking to pack it as a cny goodie, consider smaller balls for more bite-sized cookies!!

we hope you and your valentine’s have a good time eating or making these cookies 🥰❤️
