Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, mix together the butter (or margarine) and sugar until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious base for your cookies.
-
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next, resulting in a perfectly blended batter.
-
In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking soda, whisking them together to evenly distribute the leavening agent and ensure a consistent rise in your cookies.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and you have a smooth cookie dough that’s ready to be transformed into delicious treats.
-
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it lightly to prevent sticking.
-
Using a teaspoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving ample space between each one to allow for spreading during baking.
-
With your thumb or the back of a spoon, create an indentation in the center of each cookie, forming a little well to hold the fruity filling.
-
Spoon a small amount of strawberry jam into each indentation, infusing your cookies with a burst of sweet strawberry flavor that will delight your taste buds with every bite.
-
Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set, ensuring a perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness in each bite.
-
Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these Cupid Cookies to your loved ones or enjoy them yourself as a delicious treat that’s sure to make any day a little sweeter!
