Makes about 55 filled hearts. Knead the dough ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and chill for about 30 minutes. Then roll out the dough in portions on a floured board to a thickness of about 3mm and cut out hearts, dusting the dough lightly with flour. Cut out small hearts (or holes) in half of the hearts. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (convection oven) for about 8-10 minutes. Place about 1 tsp of marzipan filling on the cold hearts and spread it out with a knife. Carefully place 1 holed heart on top (biscuits are very crumbly). Dust the biscuits with icing sugar and place a dollop of jam in the opening. Filling: Mix the Amaretto with the jam and heat briefly (do not boil), then add the soft marzipan and mix well with a fork until it has a spreadable consistency.
