These heart-shaped cookies, named after the Linzertorte jam that inspired them, are perfect for wedding favors, Valentines Day, or any romantic occasion. Apricot, strawberry, or cherry jam can be substituted for the seedless raspberry jam in this recipe. Makes 3 dozen cookies. Yield: Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups whole hazelnuts 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2/3 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp lemon zest Confectioners sugar for dusting 1 cup seedless raspberry jam Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toast hazelnuts until skins darken and begin to split, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins; discard skins. Place nuts in a food processor; pulse until medium-fine. 2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla. 3. In a large bowl, combine flour, hazelnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and zest. Add to butter mixture; beat to combine, about 1 minute. Place in freezer until very firm, about 30 minutes. 4. Dust a clean surface with flour, and roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out seventy-two hearts. To make the top halves of cookies, use a 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut centers from twenty-six of the hearts. 5. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cool. 6. Lightly dust confectioners sugar over tops of cookies. Spread about 1 tsp jam on each of the bottom halves, and sandwich both halves together. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
