Summary: We've teamed up with Whitworths Sugar to bring you a Valentine's Day recipe. Your recipient will absolutely love these delicious cookies!
Ingredients:: 400g plain flour; 4 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar; Pinch of salt; 200g salted butter; 3 tbsp olive oil; 10 tsp Original Strawberry Whole Fruit Jam

Cooking Method

Add flour, 2 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar, salt and butter to a food processor and process until crumbly (or use your fingers). Mix the oil with 3 tbsp of cold water and gradually add to the crumbs until a dough forms. You may not need all the oil and water, so add gradually until it comes together. Roll into a rough ball shape and wrap in cling film for at least 30 mins.
Roll out chilled pastry into a big rectangle and cut out 3inch x 3inch squares. Dab the edges of the squares with a little water. In a diamond shape, fold up bottom corner, then fold the sides in to create the envelope shape.
Spoon in 1 tsp of jam to each envelope. Use leftover pastry to add little hearts on top.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins at 200C, until starting to turn golden. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp Whitworths icing sugar before serving.
