Linzer Hearts

I'm in LOVE! 

These cookies have won my heart. They were well worth the paint fumes I inhaled to bake them (Our house was painted this weekend and we were not allowed in until the paint dried).  A "REAL BAKER" would not let a small thing like hazardous fumes stop her. What's a few brain cells compared to Linzer Hearts,  a small sacrifice for Love. 

The recipe said to "feel free to substitute almonds for the hazelnuts".  Almonds are ALWAYS my NUT of Choice.  I used Arrow Mills blanched ground almonds and Smuckers Raspberry Jam. 

They baked for 14 minutes and made 9 Large and 8 small sandwich hearts. 

168 to Go!
