Try them and create a little romance in your house tomorrow!!
100g sugar
50g butter
1 small egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon Goodalls vanilla extract
135g plain flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 heart cookie cutters of different sizes
To decorate
Raspberry jam
Early in the day or the day before:
In a large bowl cream the butter and the sugar. Add the eggs, extract, and milk. In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients with a wire whisk. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl. Mix with mixer until well combined. With hands, shape dough into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 200degrees C. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Roll half or 1/3 dough at a time, keep the rest refrigerated. For crisp cookies, roll dough, paper thin. For softer cookies, roll 1/8 ” to 1/4″ thick. With floured cookie cutter, cut into shapes. Re-roll trimmings and cut. Once you have made several of the large hear cookies them make another batch and using the smaller heart cookie cutter cut a heart shape in the middle to create your window for the jam later.
Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake 8 minutes or until very light brown. With a spatula, remove cookies to racks; cool..
When the cookies are cool you can spread approximately a teaspoon of jam on the middle of the full heart cookies and place the window on top. press down firmly and repeat until all your sweethearts are made.
Enjoy!!
