1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk

How to Make Heart-Shaped Cherry Cookies

Using a 1 inch (2.5 cm) heart-shaped cooking cutter, cut out a small heart-shaped opening in the middle of one of the pie crust hearts. This piece will be the top crust. Repeat the steps until you have used up all of your dough.
  7. Brush the bottom sides with egg white. Top with a teaspoon of cherry jam, and finish it with the top crust. Pinch the sides with a fork and brush with egg wash.
