Step 1

Note: This recipe is adapted from preppykitchen. I used his non spread sugar cookie recipe for the base <3

Step 2

In a bowl, sift the flour, corn starch, and salt. Whisk then set aside.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer that’s fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the room egg and a few drops of the neon green food colouring. Continue mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Note: The neon green food colouring will appear yellow-ish once baked. So feel free to use yellow food colouring as well!

Step 6

Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold to combine then use your hands to bring it together. Do not over knead!

Step 7

Gather the dough into a ball. Place it onto a large piece of parchment paper.

Step 8

Freeze for 15 mins, or until firm.

Step 9

Peel back the parchment paper. Use a 4” heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

Step 10

Gather the excess dough and re-roll it. Work on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking. Cut out the rest of the cookies.

Step 11

Note: Cut out 10-12 cookies in total. Reserve any leftover dough, you’ll need it for later.

Step 12

Tip: work fast, the cookie dough is easier to work with / cut out when firm.

Step 13

Use a smaller 2” heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the centre. Only do this to HALF of the cookies.

Step 14

You should end up with an equal amount of “tops” and “bottoms”.

Step 15

Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 5 mins.

Step 16

Add a few drops of the dark green food colouring to the reserved dough. Knead until well combined. ( Use gloves so you don’t end up with stained hands )

Step 17

Roll out the dark green dough and cut out small triangles.

Step 18

Take the cookies out of the fridge and add the cutout triangles to the “tops”.

Step 19

Bake at 350F for 10-11mins. Don’t over bake!

Step 20

Allow the cookies to cool down completely before handling. They’re fragile when hot.

Step 21

In a bowl, microwave the strawberry jam for 20 seconds to loosen it up.

Step 22

Add 1 tbsp of strawberry jam to the “bottom” cookies. Spread it out using a chopstick.

Step 23

Place the “top” cookies on top of the jam. Gently press down.

Step 24

If you have the patience, add the sesame seeds.
