  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

1 C butter softened

2/3 C sugar

1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1 1/3 pecans, finely ground

2 C gluten free flour (Pamela’s, GF123, Bob’s Red Mill GF, Cup4Cup flour blends all work great!)

Powdered sugar

Seedless Raspberry jam or spread

Instructions

  • n a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla.
  • Gradually add pecans and flour. Blend all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Wrap in parchment then place in a plastic baggie.
  • Refrigerate 1-2 hours or up to 2 days.
  • Remove pastry from bag.
  • Roll out dough (it will be hard at first, but will soften up with rolling), on a well-floured surface, (preferably on a silicon pad or marble or wood cutting board).
  • Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll ¼- ½ inch thickness.
  • Using a heart shape cookie cutter cut a top and a bottom for each cookie.
  • For the top cookie use a smaller heart and cut out the center.
  • Bake cookies for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. Just until nicely light brown.
  • Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before you remove them to cooling rack.
  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes on cooling rack.
  • May be stored without jam or sugar for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • Transfer all bottoms to a pan for spreading jam onto them.
  • Leave tops on cooling rack, but place a sheet under it to catch the mess from the powdered sugar.
  • Sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar using a sifter.
  • Carefully spread jam onto the bottom cookies.
  • Place the powdered sugar top onto the jam bottom, and VOILA!!! Sooo Beautiful, and sooo delicious!!!NOTE: Usually we make these cookies a day ahead and sugar dust and jam them just before giving them away. Also, the batter is great just as a cookie-cutter cookie! We keep all the centers and put them out to eat as well. The cookies keep for up to a week, IF not eaten all before!
