They are especially delightful on warm family evenings when you crave something cozy and tasty. The simplicity of preparation makes them accessible even for novice cooks, and their shape adds special charm to any event.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm on a cutting board. Use a cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on the cookies as they brown quickly and can burn just as fast. Let cool.
