Shortbread Hearts

Mary Dempster from HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA

This is an excellent and versatile recipe. I make cookies each week for a Sunday School class among many other occasions and everyone just loved these. I did not have Nestle's hearts but I found that crunch and plain chocolate pieces were just as good. I also experimented with other flavors of jam and they were equally accepted - in fact they just disappeared. I will use this recipe a lot during the holidays. I loved the fact that I could leave the dough in the fridge for an hour while I made other cookies - I seemed to get more accomplished that way. Thank you - I love your products.
GREAT TREAT!

Michelle Cordero from Camden, NJ

When I made these wonderful cookies, I couldn't get enought of them. I actually made them throughout the holiday season. I decorated them with red, green, and white icing. They are fun and easy to make. My co-workers and family members loved them. I think these are not only great for Valentines but for any special occasion. They are great!
Perfect!

This is an easy and delicious recipe for Valentines Day. I found them easier to make than rolling out and decorating sugar cookies.

Made these for my daughters class thought it was sweet enough without the icing. Cute idea for Valentines. Used Strawberry instead of Raspberry but couldn't taste it. Very good cookie!

I THOUGHT THIS RECIPE WAS EASY TO MAKE, AND WAS VERY GOOD. I USED LEMON CURD FILLING ON THE COOKIES AND DRIZZLED SOME ICING ON THEM. THEY WERE DELICIOUS! THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE.

Raspberry Twinkles

Lisa Ferguson from Astoria, OR

These cookies are good! I was so surprised they didn't have any eggs or baking soda in them. They ended up being like a shortbread cookie, real light. I was hoping for more raspberry flavor. The chocolate overrides that flavor quite a bit.
