Instructions
Makes 26 pieces (or 52 halves).
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa. Add the vanilla sugar, the food coloring (the more coloring, the redder the color) and the baking soda into the airyan (buttermilk), stir and set aside.
- With a mixer, beat the butter and the two kinds of sugar into a cream (about 2–3 min.), reduce the mixer speed, add the egg and beat for another 2 min. To the well-homogenized mixture add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the airyan in 2 additions. Transfer the finished mixture into a piping bag and pipe cookies 5 cm in diameter or in the shape of a heart (it is good to draw a template beforehand to follow) onto silicone mats or baking paper.
For the cream: combine the mascarpone and powdered sugar (and strawberry jam) and beat until smooth; sandwich the cooled cookies two by two.
