Berry Bliss Heart Cookies

Directions

1. Line two 9x13 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter with the sugars. (You can use a hand mixer or the paddle attachment on a stand mixer.) Start with medium speed and slowly increasing the speed to medium-high for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy.
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, mix in the egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix on low speed and slowly add the flour mixture. Scrape down the sides as needed.
5. Scoop one tablespoon of the batter and make into dough balls, rolling them as smooth as possible. Place them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
6. Next, gently press a heart shape into the the top of the dough ball with your pinky finger. Place the cookie sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes (or the refrigerator for 1 hour).
7. Pull the baking sheets from the freezer and let rest. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
8. Spoon the fruit butter into the heart-shaped indent of the cookie.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
