How to make Butter Heart Cookies

  • To make this recipe for heart cookies with butter, you must first mix the ingredients; there must be homogeneous and soft dough.
  • Next, spread the shortbread dough and cut out the hearts with the help of a cookie cutter.
  • Place the heart-shaped cookies on a tray on parchment paper and cook in the oven at 180ºC for about 7 minutes. Then, let them come to room temperature and reserve.
  • Now we will work the fondant. In our case, we have bought a package of white fondant, but if you want you can make it quick and easy with the homemade fondant recipe. Next, roll out the fondant with the help of a rolling pin on a floured surface and cut heart shapes with the same cookie cutter.
  • To make the colored fondant, mix portions of it with the food coloring and mix well. The fondant will be sticky, but you can use a little flour to bring it back to its normal texture. Repeat the same operation as with the white fondant, extend and cut the shapes, also cut smaller hearts.
  • To line the decorated heart cookies, place 1 drop of strawberry coulis or strawberry jamon each cookie and spread over the entire surface. You can buy the coulis or syrup at any supermarket or make it at home.
  • Place the piece of white fondant on the cookies, covered with syrup or jam, and press lightly so that it adheres well.
  • Finally, place some coulison one of the faces of the smaller hearts and glue this piece on top of the heart-shaped cookies. Here you can use your imagination and make the combinations you want to decorate the cookies.
  • You can also decorate the heart cookies for Valentine’s Day with chocolate shavings. Take advantage of this fantastic and simple recipe to make a special gift or enjoy Valentine’s Day!
