Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegan butter at room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup jam or preserves of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, beat the vegan butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and almond extracts and beat to combine. Add flour 1⁄2 cup at a time, beating until the dough is well mixed. This will create a crumbly-looking dough that you should be able to mold together with your hands. If the dough is too crumbly to hold together, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until a more pliable dough forms (it should still look slightly crumbly).
  • Take a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with your hand and using your thumb, press two thumbprints in the center forming a heart. Repeat with remaining dough, leaving one inch between each cookie. Spoon preserves into the dents on each cookie.
  • Bake for 17 - 19 minutes, until the cookies just start to get very lightly golden. Allow to cool on the pan for 30 minutes.
