Instructions
Step 1
Cream the *room temperature butter* with the sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the *egg*, *vanilla extract*, and *salt*, mixing well.
Incorporate the *sifted flour* and *baking powder* into the mixture. Form the dough into a ball, and let it rest in the refrigerator for *one hour*.
Step 2
Divide the dough into equal portions and add the desired food coloring, mixing thoroughly. Roll out the colored dough into sheets and cut out *heart shapes*. Roll out the remaining uncolored dough and place the hearts on top. Cover with parchment paper and integrate the hearts into the main sheet by rolling.
Cut out cookies using a cutter. Bake them at *200°C (392°F)* for *7-8 minutes*. Use the leftover dough to create a lovely pattern, then cut and bake as usual.
Step 3
Thaw the frozen berries and blend them into a puree. Pour half of the puree over the *gelatin*, mix, and leave it to swell. Combine the remaining puree with *sugar* in a saucepan and heat it.
Step 4
Bring the puree in the saucepan to *114-118°C (237-244°F)*, stirring occasionally. Melt the gelatin in the microwave for *10-15 seconds*. Begin whisking the gelatin at low speed in a mixer bowl. Slowly pour the syrup into the gelatin and whisk at high speed until a firm mass forms, which takes about *10 minutes*.
Step 5
Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe it onto the cooled cookies. Form sandwiches and let sit at room temperature for *about an hour* until the filling sets completely.
Servings
Serve them as an interactive dessert experience at your next party! Provide small pipettes of extra berry puree for guests to drizzle over their cookies, adding a personal touch to each bite. 🎉
For a more intimate setting, arrange a few cookies in glass jars tied with ribbon. These make thoughtful gifts or charming centerpieces for your table. 🍴
To partner with your cookies, consider serving a light, fruity tea or a sparkling rosé. The beverage’s acidity will beautifully balance out the cookies' sweetness and enhance the berry notes. 🍷🫖
Equipment
For perfectly creamed butter and sugar, a mixer is your best friend. A stand mixer allows you to multitask, while a hand mixer gives you agility.
Consistency is key when baking. Make sure your oven is preheated to the precise temperature for that perfect golden finish!

Variations
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend to keep the texture light and fluffy. You can find many easy swaps at your local grocery store, making it simple to cater to dietary needs without compromising on taste. For a vegan version, simply replace the butter with a plant-based alternative, the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water), and use agar-agar instead of gelatin for the filling. 🌱
These modifications ensure everyone at your table can enjoy these treats to the fullest!
Faq
- Why is creaming the butter and sugar important?
Creaming incorporates air, leading to a lighter and fluffier cookie texture! Make sure your butter is at room temperature for best results.
- Can I use a different kind of berry puree?
Absolutely! While this recipe uses berry puree, feel free to experiment with other fruits like mango or apricot. Just ensure they're well-blended for a smooth filling.
- Is it necessary to let the dough rest?
Yes, resting allows the flour to hydrate and the flavors to meld, making the dough easier to work with and enhancing the final taste.
- What’s the best way to gauge the temperature of the berry mixture?
A candy thermometer will give you precise readings. This ensures the mixture reaches the right consistency for the filling.
- Can I freeze the cookies or dough for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the dough before baking or the finished cookies. Just ensure they are stored in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
- How do I store leftovers?
Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. The filling will stay nicely firm, and the flavors will continue to develop.
