They have to be there! – without egg

Lightly roast the walnuts in a pan without fat and let cool. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Knead the nuts, vanilla seeds, spelt flour, fat, sugar, and liqueur into a dough, first using the dough hook of a hand mixer, then by hand. Wrap the walnut dough in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat, fan: 160°C). Place the dough in portions into a large, cut-open freezer bag and roll out to about 3 mm thick. Cut out 50 hearts and place them, spacing them apart, on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for about 12 minutes. Heat the jelly and stir until smooth. Spread it on half of the hearts and place a heart on each one. Dust the finished hearts with icing sugar.
