Favor Idea: Vanilla Shortbread Hearts
If you are making your own wedding favors or a cookie buffet at your wedding, these are easy to make and so very cute, so I've added the recipe below for you!!
Ingredients
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon(s)salt
- 1 cup(s) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- confectioners' sugar, for decoration
- 1/2 cup(s) seedless raspberry jam
- In a small bowl, combine flour and salt. In a large bowl, with electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, beat in flour mixture just until blended. Shape dough into 2 disks; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Between 2 sheets of floured wax paper, roll 1 disk 1⁄8-inch thick. With floured 3-inch heart-shape cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Cut out centers of half cookies with floured 1 1⁄2-inch heart-shape cookie cutter. Slide cookies on wax paper to another large cookie sheet and refrigerate about 15 minutes, or until firm. Remove heart-shape centers from cookies; place cookies on prepared sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on parchment paper on wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling scraps.
- Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies with cut-out centers. Spread 1 teaspoon jam on each plain cookie; top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
