INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups organic powdered sugar

1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup unsweetened organic almond milk
1 teaspoon organic vanilla
1 1/2 cups unbleached, organic flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup organic strawberry preserves

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, beat powdered sugar, vanilla, sea salt, coconut oil, almond milk

Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the base cookies. For the top cookie use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to make interior hearts. Make an equal number of top and bottom cookies.

Place cookies on prepared cookie sheets about 1/2-inch apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes.

Spread strawberry jam over the bottom cookies and create a sandwich with the top cookie.

Sift or sprinkle powdered sugar over cookies and serve!
