Fill these favorites with raspberry or strawberry jelly.
A tender sugar cookie in the shape of a heart, sandwiched with jam and dusted with confectioners' sugar — simple, and simply lovely. The dough needs an overnight chill, so start this one the day before.
Method
- 1
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- 2
Cream together the shortening and sugar, then stir in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Chill the dough overnight.
- 3
Roll out the dough and cut with a heart cookie cutter — each cookie needs a top and a bottom.
- 4
Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
- 5
Once cool, place a teaspoon of jelly on a bottom cookie and cover with a top (both facing outward), then dust with confectioners' sugar.
