Oh boy. Can I tell you something???
Michael’s is DANGEROUS!!
I was in there the other day to pick up one thing- hot glue sticks. I ended up walking out of there with $50 worth of stuff in my cart. One of those things were these ADORABLE heart shaped cookie cutters. I wasn’t going to do any more Valentine’s Day treats. I really wasn’t. I have plenty of candy in the house. I didn’t need these. But once I bought the cookie cutters- well…. I obviously had to make the cookies.
I decided to not make these as carefully as I normally would have tried to do.
Yep- I purposely decorated these quick & IMPERFECT to give them a more whimsical feel. I felt it added to the marbled dough.
They were fun & didn’t last too long either.
You can print the recipe HERE.
Only thing to change is to add a couple dabs of gel food color & hand kneed in so it doesn’t color the whole batch throughout.
Then roll out instead of ball up & cut & bake according to recipe. Allow to cool before icing.
Want more Valentine cookies- you can make these

When you pull them out- just push in the chocolate heart before the cookie cools.
