I’ve often seen these glass-effect biscuits on the internet, but I had never tried to bake them.

For Valentine’s Day I wanted to bake something new and with a wow effect, so I searched for some recipes on the web and I found these biscuits, and surprise… They are very easy to make

As a base I preferred to use my shortcrust pastry, which is super tested and for the glass effect I used the gummy bears… needless to say that they didn’t make it to Valentine’s Day, because they were finished in ten minutes

Ingredients for glass hearts

53 g lactose free butter;
14 g yolks;
vanilla powder to taste;
20-25 gummy bears.

90 g Flour 00 (W110-120);
36 g icing sugar;
a pinch of salt.

Tools

rolling pin;
5.5 cm and 3.5 cm heart cutters;
a kitchen planetary mixer, whit K-beater;
baking tray;
baking paper.

Prepare the shortcrust pastry for the biscuits

Pour the flour, icing sugar, lactose free butter and vanilla into the kitchen planetary mixer and mix with a K-beater until the mixture is large crumbs.

Add yolks and salt, and mix until the mixture is homogeneous. Form a loaf and let it rest in the fridge at 4° C for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the biscuits

Remove the loaf from the fridge, roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 4 mm and cut hearts with the 5.5 cm pastry cutter, for every biscuit make a hole for the glass using the other cutter.

Leave the biscuits to rest in the fridge at 4° C for 20 minutes, in the meantime preheat the convection oven to 175° C.

You can rework the shortcrust pastry and make other biscuits, or bake the small hearts separately and eat them.

Bake the biscuits at 170 °C for 10 minutes, remove the dripping pan and place the gummy bears into the hole of the biscuits, lower the oven to 160° C and bake them for 3 minutes or until the gummy bears will melt.

Remove the dripping pan from the oven, let the biscuits cool before removing from the baking paper.
