Jam Heart Cookies: simple and quick cookies to prepare. Perfect for breakfast and snack time.
The Jam Heart Cookies are simple and quick cookies to prepare. After preparing a ball of shortcrust pastry, you’ll just need to roll it out into a thin layer and cut it with two heart-shaped cutters. Once the cookies are baked, they will need to be filled. I used cherry jam, but you can choose the flavor you prefer. Additionally, you can replace the jam with Nutella or another cream of your choice.
As I mentioned, they are perfect for breakfast and snack time, but you can also serve them as a dessert at the end of a meal. You can even put them in a box and gift them to your friends.
But let’s see right away how to prepare the Jam Heart Cookies.

How to Prepare Jam Heart Cookies
In a bowl, add the egg and sugar. Mix with a spoon.
Add the milk and oil. Mix with the spoon.
Finally, add the flour and baking powder. Start mixing with the spoon, then when you can no longer do so, continue kneading by hand until you get a compact and homogeneous dough.
Divide the dough in half. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one part. Work with your hands until you get a uniformly colored dough.
Roll out the two doughs with the rolling pin on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of about one-quarter inch.
Cut out the red dough with a heart-shaped cutter. Place the obtained cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cut the clear dough with a heart-shaped cutter, and then make another heart inside with a smaller cutter. Remove the smaller hearts.
Place the cut-out hearts on the same tray as the red cookies and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 10 minutes. Please check the cooking times according to your oven. (Also bake the smaller clear hearts, they will be delightful shortcrust cookies in the shape of a heart).
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool.
Add a teaspoon of jam to the red cookies, then place the cut-out hearts on top.
Cookies ready to be served.
