Cookies to cut out

Let the dough rest in a cool place, then roll it out thinly with flour. Cut out hearts. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then stir in the powdered sugar with a spoon. Brush the hearts with the beaten egg whites. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at medium heat until golden brown (approx. 150°C fan-assisted oven for approx. 12 minutes). Combine the cooled hearts with jam or preserves, egg white sides facing out.
