Start with a dough rich in butter and almonds, then fill it with a touch of bright red raspberry preserves and you'll get what could very well be the ideal Valentine's Day cookie. These Jelly Filled Hearts from Very Good Things are the perfect cross between bite sized cookies and rich, full-sized tarts. Not only are they tasty, but they are much easier to make than they look - though you don't have to admit that when impressing your Valentine. The cookies end up tasting very much like shortbread, but the finely ground almonds that are added to the dough are enough to give it an adult taste. The full recipe can be found here and you still have plenty of time before the big day to make a batch or two.
