Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 2-3 mm thickness. Cut out hearts, then cut smaller hearts from half of them. Place on the tray and bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Carefully remove from the tray and while still warm spread smooth jam over the hearts. Place a 'window' heart on top and press lightly. Let cool and dust with powdered sugar.
