 Categories: Cookies, Fruits
      Yield: 42 servings

      1 c  Sweetened shredded coconut
      1 c  Sugar
    3/4 c  Cold butter; diced
  2 1/4 c  A-P flour
      2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
    3/4 c  Confectioners' sugar
      1 tb Water
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
           Coarse white sugar (optional)
    1/2 c  Seedless raspberry jam

  Place coconut and sugar in a food processor; cover and
  process until coconut is coarsely chopped. In a large
  bowl, cut butter into flour until crumbly. Stir in
  coconut mixture. Stir in eggs and vanilla.

  On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8"
  thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2" heart-shaped cookie cutter
  dipped in flour. Using a 1" heart-shaped cookie cutter,
  cut out the center of half of the cookies. Reroll small
  cutouts if desired.

  Place solid and cutout cookies 1" apart on greased
  baking sheets. Bake @ 375°F/190°C for 7-9 minutes or
  until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.

  In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water
  and vanilla; brush over warm cookies with cutout
  centers. Immediately sprinkle with coarse white sugar if
  desired. Spread 1/2 ts of jam over the bottom of
  each solid cookie; place cookies with cutout centers
  over jam.
