Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Ā On a greased cookie sheet, lay out your first layer of dough hearts, brushing their edges with egg wash (1 egg, whisked). Ā Scoop about a spoonful of strawberry preserves onto the dough, keeping it in the center. Ā Then, layer the second dough heart on top and press the layers together using a clean fork. Ā Use the egg wash like glue to stick the mini heart on top, and cover the tops with the wash as well. Ā Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
