With Valentine’s Day around the corner, KDH thought about baking a tempting treat for my sweet. Who ya gonna call?  Tate’s Bake Shop founder Kathleen King of course! Break out those heart shape cookie cutters because we scored the secret recipe for Kathleen’s Linzer Heart Cookies, stuffed with raspberry jam, topped with powdered sugar and perfectly shaped for Valentine’s Day!

Kathleen shares,  “Baking a batch of these cookies and placing them in a cute tin is a nice personalized alternative to buying the standard, boring box of chocolate from your local drugstore. You can also use a larger heart-shaped cookie cutter to maker one stand-alone cookie, wrap it with cellophane and red ribbon,  and gift it as a sweet “cookie-gram” token to coworkers and friends.”
