Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 1½ inches apart.
- Press your thumb or the rounded back of a teaspoon into the center of each dough ball to create a heart-shaped indentation.
- Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Reshape the indentations if necessary.
- Spoon a small dollop of your favorite jam into each heart-shaped center.
