Ingredients
Main Ingredients
500ml cake flour
175g Stork Baking Margarine, chilled and cut into cubes
130g castor sugar
1 egg yolk
Buttercream Ingredients
50g Stork Baking Margarine, at room temp and diced
90g icing sugar, sifted
75ml smooth strawberry jam
Step by step method
- Put the flour and Stork Bake in a food processor and process until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and egg yolk and process until the mixture starts to form a dough.
- Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover the dough ball in cling wrap and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C and grease baking trays.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 4mm thick and cut out rounds using a 6cm cookie cutter. Reroll the trimmings until you have an even number of rounds (about 40).
- Place half the cookie rounds on a greased baking tray and put aside.
- Using a heart shaped cookie cutter that is smaller than the cookie round, cut out the centres of the rest of the cookies and place on another baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes until pale golden in colour, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Cream the Stork Bake and slowly add in the icing sugar.
- Use a palette knife to spread a little buttercream onto each cookie round, top with a little jam and then gently press the heart cut-out cookies on top, so that the jam fills the hole.
