Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup pecan halves, toasted
2 tbsp confectioners' sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup cherry jam, strained

Directions:

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl; set aside.
Pulse pecans, confectioners' sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a food processor until finely ground (but not wet); transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Add butter and granulated sugar; mix on medium speed until fluffy.
Mix in vanilla and egg.
Reduce speed to low.
Add flour mixture; mix until combined.
Halve dough; shape into disks.
Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Cut out squares with a 2-inch fluted cutter.
Cut out centers of half the squares with a 1/2-inch heart cutter; reroll scraps.
Space 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake squares and hearts until pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer to racks to cool.
Meanwhile, heat jam in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced and thickened, about 7 minutes; let cool.
Sprinkle cutout cookies with confectioners' sugar.
Spread jam onto uncut squares; top with cutout ones.
Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
