Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3–4 tbsp cold water
For the filling:
½ cup strawberry or raspberry jam
For the glaze:
¾ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional: food coloring, sprinkles
Instructions
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
Add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together. Divide and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll dough on a floured surface and cut out heart shapes (you’ll need 12).
Place 6 hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add a spoonful of jam in the center.
Top with remaining hearts, press edges with a fork to seal, and poke a vent hole in each.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes or until golden. Cool completely.
Mix glaze ingredients and tint if desired. Drizzle or spread over cooled Pop-Tarts. Decorate with sprinkles.
