Total Time 21 hours 35 minutes
Course Cookies
Servings 4 cookie sandwiches

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons 140 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup 50 g sugar
  • 1/4 cup 55 g cold butter, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup 70 g strawberry jam
  • confectioner's sugar for dusting

Instructions 

  • Thermomix: Add flour and sugar to mixing bowl and mix 5 sec / speed 5. Add butter pieces and mix 5 sec / speed 5. Add egg and mix 10 sec / speed 5.
  • If you do not have a Thermomix, add the flour and sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 2-3 times to blend. Add butter pieces and process until a crumbly consistency. Add egg and process until dough forms.
  • Remove dough from mixing bowl and shape into a disc. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter, about 3 inches in diameter to cut out 8 cookies. Using a smaller cookie cutter (about 1 1/2-inch) cut out a heart in the center of 4 of the cookies (this will be the top cookie). Transfer cut out cookies shapes to prepared baking sheet and bake 15-18 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • To assemble the cookies, spread jam onto the flat sides of the bottom cookies (without the hole). Dust the tops with powdered sugar and place on top of the jam.
