Love is in the air! Are you feeling it too?!?
I’m all excited about this coming Valentine’s Day. Maybe because it gives me one more excuse to bake – and eat!! – a delicious dessert and not feel guilty about it.

But who needs any excuse when we are dealing with buttery and crumbly cooked with a soft strawberry heart?!?
Each one of these thumbprint cookies has a delicate and buttery flavor, with a sweet jam-filled heart in the middle.
There’s nothing easier to make, pretty and delicious. Especially if it comes with a gooey strawberry heart on top.
So pretty, right?!?

I’m really excited to share this recipe with you today. It’s the perfect easy and quick Valentine’s recipe idea.

You can bake these cookies for your sweetheart and surprise him (or her!) with a cozy breakfast in bed, serving them warm next to a smoking hot cup of cappuccino or tea.
These thumbprint cookies also make the perfect edible Valentine for everybody. So whip up a batch or two, and send them to your friends and neighbors. And spread the love. The world needs really a little bit more love … and cookies!
