Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg yolk
• 2¼ cups flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 24 gummy bears, cut in half

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
• In a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg yolk, and mix until smooth. Add the flour and salt, and mix to form a thick dough.
• Roll the dough into one inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Use your finger to press down twice on each ball, making a heart-shaped indent. Place two gummy bear halves into each indent in a v shape.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are just slightly golden at the bottom and the gummy bears are melty. If the gummy bears do not melt all the way, use a toothpick to gently spread them throughout the indent in the cookie.
• Cool completely before eating.
