2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
strawberry preserves
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, milk, and sifted ingredients. Mix well.
Roll out on a floured surface. Cut with heart-shaped cookie cutters. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
With plastic knives or wooden Popsicle sticks, spread strawberry preserves on each cookie and top with another cookie.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I made these with a 22 month old and a 3 year old. They absolutely loved them. The dough is easy to work with and easy to roll (no sticking to the rolling pin). We even covered a few of the cut-outs with red sugar sprinkles to give away. Thanks for the easy kid-friendly "tart".
