Honey Heart Shaped Cookie Sandwiches

Every year for Valentine's Day I make special Honey Heart Shaped Cookie Sandwiches for my family and friends.

My grandma used make these wonderful cookies for me and my sister for Christmas and Easter and she made them in different shapes. I started making Honey Heart Shaped Cookies few years ago for Valentine's day for my children.

My kids love these cookies and they call them LOVE cookies because I make them only once a year.



Last year few of my friends tasted them and they were hooked. So this year I had to make a bigger batch of my Honey Heart Shaped Cookie Sandwiches.

This recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies which gives you 3 dozen sandwiches.

Ingredients:

3 3/4 cup Flour1 cup Sugar5 Tbsp Butter (softened)2 Eggs2 Tbsp Honey1 tsp Baking Soda1 tsp CinnamonPreheat oven to 400F.

In a large bowl combine together flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Add eggs, butter and honey.

Work it into a dough.



On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough into 1/4" thickness.Cut out heart shapes with 2-3" cookie cutter.



Bake for 8 minutes on un-greased cookie sheet. Cool down on for 2 minutes and move onto cooling rack.



When cookies are slightly cool stick them together with filling.

Filling:
1 cup Walnuts (ground)1 cup Lady Fingers or Ginger Snaps (ground)1 Tbsp Dark Rum1 Tbsp Honey3 Tbsp Red Currant Jam1/4 cup WaterIn a bowl combine all ingredients together until you have smooth and thick filling.

After cookies are cooled and made into little heart sandwiches dip them in chocolate of your choice and decorate with sprinkles.



Store them in air tight container. They taste better if they are couple days old.
