Frequently Asked Questions About Flammendes Herz
What is a Flammendes Herz cookie?
A Flammendes Herz is a German heart-shaped jam cookie. It is typically made with butter, flour and sugar, then filled with jam; recipes and finishing details can vary between bakers.
How do you make Flammendes Herz cookies?
Flammendes Herz cookies are made by shaping buttery cookie dough into hearts, baking it and joining the pieces with jam. Chilling the shaped dough before baking helps it keep its outline, especially if the dough has softened.
Why is it called Flammendes Herz?
Flammendes Herz means “flaming heart” in German, referring to the cookie’s heart shape. The name does not mean the filling is spicy or served hot.
What jam goes in a Flammendes Herz?
A thick berry or stone-fruit jam works well in a Flammendes Herz; raspberry, sour cherry and apricot are good options. Avoid a runny filling, which can leak out or make the cookie soggy.
Is Flammendes Herz the same as a Linzer cookie?
No. Flammendes Herz is known as a heart-shaped German jam cookie, while Linzer cookies commonly have a cut-out in the top biscuit that shows the filling. Recipes overlap, and bakery versions are not always identical.
Why do Flammendes Herz cookies spread in the oven?
Flammendes Herz cookies often spread when the dough is too warm or soft. Chill the shaped cookies before baking and make sure the oven is fully heated; changing the ingredient proportions can also affect how well they hold their shape.
How should you store Flammendes Herz cookies?
Store Flammendes Herz cookies in an airtight container once they have cooled completely. Keep them in a cool, dry place; the jam can soften the biscuit over time, so their texture is best when fresh.
Can you freeze Flammendes Herz cookies?
Yes, you can freeze Flammendes Herz cookies, though the jam may soften the texture after thawing. For a fresher result, freeze the shaped, unbaked dough, or wrap baked cookies airtight and thaw them before serving.
What do you serve with Flammendes Herz?
Serve Flammendes Herz with coffee or tea. Its buttery biscuit and fruity jam pair well with an unsweetened drink, and letting the cookies come to room temperature before serving brings out their flavour.
How do you stop jam leaking out of Flammendes Herz cookies?
Use thick jam and avoid spreading it too close to the edge of each Flammendes Herz. A generous filling can squeeze out as the cookie halves are joined, while runny jam is more likely to leak during baking.

What is Flammendes Herz?
Flammendes Herz is a German heart-shaped jam cookie, usually made from a buttery dough with flour and sugar and filled or topped with jam. The cookie has a rich, crumbly bite, balanced by the fruitiness and softer texture of the jam; recipes and finishes vary between bakeries and home kitchens.
In Germany it suits an afternoon coffee or tea, and it can also be served as a small treat with dessert. Elsewhere, enjoy it with coffee or tea as a sweet snack. It is energy-dense, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates and fat, while protein and fibre are modest. Pairing one with an unsweetened drink keeps the snack simple.
