A sweet gummy bear candy surprise gives these sugar heart cookies a flavorful, chewy bite. Super Easy Gummy Bear Filled Heart Cookies are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any day you’re gifting some homemade cookies to someone you love.
Gently press down with your index or pinky finger into the center of each cookie, forming a “v” or heart shape. These cookies turn out better if you can create a fairly deep indent by going back and pressing down with the tip of your finger, but be careful not to push too far through the bottom of the cookie.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes until they are lightly browned, cooked through, and the gummy bears have melted in the center.
Let the cookies cool completely on wire racks and serve.
