These adorable Valentine's Day cookies sandwiched with raspberry jam are the perfect treat or gift for a loved one.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) butter room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (375g) flour
- ⅓ cup (45g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- Melted white chocolate to drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat for another minute.
- Mix together the flour, cornstarch and salt then add to the butter mixture in two batches, mixing well after each addition. Remember to scrape the bowl down with a spatula to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated into the dough.
- Tip the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper then cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle using a rolling pin, approximately ⅛-inch (½cm) thick.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill for 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has firmed up, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out cookies. Push the off-cuts back together before rolling out to get more cookies out of each batch. For a cute effect, I used a smaller cookie cutter to cut hearts out of the centers of half of the cookies for a peekaboo effect. This is optional.
- Place the cookies on 1-2 baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out slightly and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely then add a teaspoon of jam to half of the cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
