If you all know anything at all about me by now, you will know that food is my love language. One year, on our anniversary, I made nothing but heart-shaped food for my husband. Come to think of it, it must have been a funny sight on the construction site as he sat down to eat his heart-shaped sandwiches, lol.
So, if you want to feed your love heart-shaped food for Valentine’s Day, or any other day, then these Keto Linzer Cookies (aka Linzer Kekse) are probably a bit more of a low-key way of going about it.
I filled mine with this crazy simple and delicious Super Smooth Low Carb Strawberry Jam, which doesn't require you to use any chia seeds, and I had the left-over jam swirled through some sugar-free ice cream, yum. Make a batch for your Valentine. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 12 sandwiched cookies)
Instructions
- Sift all of your flours together, along with the xanthan gum.
- Cream the butter and sweetener together until light and fluffy and then add the egg and vanilla and combine well. Add the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Tip the dough out onto some cling wrap and form a disc. Wrap and then chill for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and roll out to about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 24 cookies.
- Create heart-shaped cut outs in 12 of your cookies and lay them out on lined baking trays.
- Chill on the trays in the fridge for a further 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 160 °C/ 320 °F (conventional), or 140 °C/ 285 °F (fan assisted).
- Transfer the cookies in the oven and bake the cookies for 15 minutes, until they are just starting to colour on the edges. Remove and cool on racks.
- To complete the cookies, you will need to prepare our Super Smooth Low-Carb Strawberry Jam. If you don't have any, it will take an extra 1 hour.
- Pace 1 tsp of jam on the bottom cookie and slowly press the cut-out cookie on top, spreading the jam in an even layer between them and filling the heart-shaped window.
- Prior to serving, dust with powdered sweetener.
- These cookies are not suitable for making in advance and storing. Assemble them just before serving.
- Store cookies (without filling) in an airtight container, in the pantry for up to 10 days. You can also freeze them for up to 4 months.
