Preparation

Step 1

For the shortbread:

Work into a homogeneous dough, roll out, cut into hearts and pre-bake in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 2

For the macaron mass:

Mix everything into a smooth mass. Fill into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe around the outside of the pre-baked hearts.

Bake 190 Celsius for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat apricot jam in a saucepan, thinning the jam with a little bit of water. Bring to a boil. With a pastry brush, brush the outside of the hearts. This gives the hearts a nice glaze while also making them stay moist and not dry.

Once each heart is brushed with the apricot jam, repeat with the raspberry jam: Thin the jam with a bit of water and bring to a boil. Instead of brushing it onto the hearts, fill the insides.
