Heart-shaped cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. What I love about baking is the various ways of preparing a treat. This method with cut-out hearts is excellent! Instead of ready-made food coloring, you can use beet juice or add cocoa to one part of the dough. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
