How I make it

  1. Knead all the dough ingredients into a smooth dough and chill for about 1 hour.

  2. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut out hearts with a heart-shaped cutter.

  3. Cut a small circle out of the center of half the hearts.

  4. Place on parchment paper and bake in a moderate oven, 350°F (180°C), until golden, 8-9 minutes.

  5. Once the cookies are cool, spread a little jam on the whole hearts and top each with a cut-out heart.

  6. Dust with powdered sugar.

What I've learned

  • They bake fast, so I stay close to the oven.
  • The jam in the window absorbs the powdered sugar and stays bright and glossy.
