We went to Mentone a couple of years ago and there was a quaint little bakery that sold Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprint cookies. They were delectable! Well, the owner actually gave me the recipe. 🙂 Since shortbread dough is so versatile, I decided to make flat heart-shaped cookies for Valentines this year! ❤ I simply pressed out the chilled dough onto a floured surface and used cookie cutters to make different sized hearts. I pressed the dough slightly in the center and spread the jam (I couldn't find seedless, oh well) with my finger into a rough heart shape. I watched them as they baked since they were different sizes. The recipe says to bake "until lightly browned" but by then they may be too crunchy. This is such an easy recipe for a cookie dough that can be shaped any way you want. I think I'll make bells for Christmas!  Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints Recipe - 2020 Allrecipes.com

I used small omelette pans in the photo but with all the filling, it makes the egg "tortillas" hard to roll and keep from unfolding in the dish. I sometimes use a 10-in skillet and am able to fold the edges so as to keep the filling intact (you'd need more eggs for this). It is helpful to have two pans making the tortil...
