You'll fall in love with these classic shortbread cookies filled with raspberry preserves and topped with a sweet glaze and a candied cherry with one bite. These Empire Cookie Hearts make perfect Valentine's Day desserts but would also be fun to serve at a bridal shower, a birthday party, Mother's Day, or any day.
If you love the combination of tart raspberry preserves and a buttery cookie, you need to make this Empire Cookie Recipe.
The shortbread cookie is easy to make using just three ingredients: butter, sugar, and flour.
The cookies are delicately crispy but soften once they are sandwiched with raspberry preserves (or jam) and are topped with an easy-to-make powdered sugar and milk glaze.
My husband and I definitely fell in love with these cookies and I hope you will too.
The recipe makes 18 sandwich cookies and I managed to save two to share with a friend.
My friend loved them so much that she's already baked 2 batches to share with her family.
I'm sure I'll make them again for another holiday or occasion or just because!
