Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Knead the dough well for 2 mins on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a thickness of about 3mm. Stamp out 16 x 8cm heart shapes and put onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure that there’s plenty of space between each.
Take a smaller 3cm heart cutter and stamp out the middle of 8 of the hearts; remove. These can be baked separately, if you like.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 mins, until slightly firm. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Once cold, spread the whole heart bases with 2 tsp vanilla frosting, then gently spread 1 tsp raspberry jam on top. Put the biscuits with the heart cut-outs on top and sandwich together gently so that the frosting doesn’t squidge out.
Melt the chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, pour into a small piping bag, snip off the end and drizzle over the biscuits in a zigzag fashion. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes, or until set. Serve straight away, or package in a box with tissue paper and give as a gift. They will keep for up to 5 days.
