Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Spoon ½ tablespoon of strawberry jam onto the center of each heart shape on the baking sheet.
  5. Roll out the second disk of dough and cut out heart shapes to place on top of the filled hearts.
  6. Press the edges of the shapes together to seal and create a pattern with a fork if desired.

  8. Let cool on a wire rack.
