Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place eggs (and water to cover) in a medium saucepan. Bring water to a boil, remove from heat and let cool. Peel eggs and remove yolks. Press yolks through a sieve and set aside.
- Cut the butter into small pieces. Add in the flour, sugar, egg yolks, hard-boiled egg yolks, lemon zest, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the dough holds together and all the ingredients are well blended. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Using a 2 1/2 - 3 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as possible. Gather the dough scraps, reroll, and cut out more hearts. Using a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half the cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Spread each whole heart with a thin coating of raspberry jam. Top with the hearts with cut out centers. Repeat until all the dough has been used. Place the hearts 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheets. Beat the 2 eggs with water in a small bowl and brush lightly over the cookie frames.
- Bake the cookies just until light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks and store in the freezer or in an airtight container until ready to serve.

They looked good for Valentine's, I wish they tasted as good. They definitely needed something more, I just couldn't figure out what. I already added double the sugar since most reviewers seemed...

I thought the taste was VERY good, but mine didn't turn out very pretty. I did eliminate the egg yolks, a little too strange for me. I also ended up eliminating the egg wash after the first ba...

My eleven year- old sister did not think they were sweet enough, however I thought they were perfect!

Makes such a lovely cookie. I omitted the hard-boiled egg yolks and the final egg wash for a cookie that was a little more on the shortbread-side.

Beautiful and delicious! I like to use Knott's Berry Farm jam and switch up the colours for some fun.

This dough was impossible! I followed the recipe exactly. It was really crumbley before I put it in the fridge. It was rock hard 2 hours later. I don't know how to salvage this.
