  4. Stir in walnuts.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Place dough in a ball in wax paper and chill for roughly 5 hours.
  7. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 thickness.
  8. Using cookie cutters, cut out equal numbers of solid hearts and hearts with centre cut out.
  9. (You can either re-roll the cut out centres to make more of the larger hearts or bake them all for little bite-size cookies.) Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  10. Chill for 30 minutes.
  11. Bake at 325 for 10- 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  12. Place on rack to cool.
  13. While still slightly warm, spread the bottom side of the full hearts with jam- about 1/4 tsp each.
  14. Top with heart that has centre cut out.
  15. Bottoms should be together, tops facing out for a smoother look.
  16. (For mini hearts, spread jam on bottom of one heart and top with a second of same size- bottoms together) Sift 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar and press bottoms of cookies in sugar to coat.
  17. Gently sift the remaining 1/4 cup sugar over tops of cookies.
