Heart-Print Cookies

What you'll need:

• ½ cup softened butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup Very Berry Cherry Preserves

How to make: 

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and make room in your fridge for a cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl, add the softened butter and beat with an electric mixer on HIGH until light and fluffy. Add sugar and mix well.
3. Then, beat in the egg, vanilla extract and almond extract.
4. Finally, add the flour and salt and mix the dough with the electric mixer just until it comes together. It might be crumbly, but the heat of your hands will bring it together.
5. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and use your hands to roll it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet.
6. When all of the cookies are rolled out, dip your pinky in flour, and lay it sideways on each dough ball to make half of a heart. Repeat with more flour to make the other half of the heart. 
7. Use a 1/4 teaspoon measure to place Very Berry Cherry Preserves on each side of the heart, for a total of 1/2 teaspoon of preserves per heart.
8. Place the cookies in the fridge for one hour to chill before baking. Do not skip this step!
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven once the edges turn a light golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking pan completely. Once cool, remove the cookies from the pan.
