Jam Heart Biscuits for Valentine's Day
Lemon shortbread biscuits with jam heart centres (aka homemade jammy dodgers). The perfect biscuit for Valentine's Day.
These super easy jam heart biscuits are a great bake for Valentine's Day. It's also a nice simple recipe for the kids to help you with. The shortbread is delicately flavoured with lemon (although you could omit the lemon and use vanilla extract instead) and filled with a sweet raspberry jam centre.
If you've got a large heart biscuit cutter feel free to use that, but I settled on a fluted round shaped biscuit with a small jammy heart centre (jammy dodger-esque) and they turned out great. The crumbly lemony shortbread contrasted so well with the sweet raspberry centre!
