Heart cookies are usually made by rolling out cookie dough, cutting it with a heart-shaped cutter and baking the pieces until set. Chill the cut dough before baking if you want the edges to stay neat.
Heart cookies usually spread when the dough is too warm or the baking sheet is hot. Chill the shaped cookies before baking, and leave room between them so the points and curves do not run together.
Decorate heart cookies once they have cooled, using icing, melted chocolate or sprinkles. Let each layer set before adding another color or detail; decorating warm cookies can make the coating slide off or melt.
A heart-shaped cookie cutter gives heart cookies clean, even edges. Dip the cutter lightly in flour if the dough sticks, and press straight down rather than twisting so the cut shape stays crisp.
Keep heart cookies in an airtight container after they have cooled completely. Moisture makes crisp cookies soften, so avoid storing them while warm and keep decorated cookies separate if their icing is still wet.
Yes, heart cookie dough can be frozen. Wrap it tightly, thaw it in the refrigerator until workable, then roll and cut the hearts. You can also freeze cut shapes on a tray before transferring them to a sealed container.
Yes, you can make heart cookies without a cutter by tracing a heart template and cutting around it with a small knife. Keep the dough cold and wipe the knife between cuts for smoother edges.
Handle heart cookies gently at the pointed end, where the dough is narrowest and most fragile. Let them cool on the baking sheet until firm before moving them to a rack, and avoid rolling the dough too thin.
Heart cookies go well with tea, coffee, hot chocolate or a glass of milk. For a dessert plate, serve them with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream, especially if the cookies are plain rather than filled.
Yes, royal icing works well on heart cookies because it can be piped around the outline and spread across the center. Make sure the cookies are completely cool, then allow the icing to dry before stacking or packaging them.

A Heart cookie is a sweet biscuit shaped like a heart, usually cut from dough made with flour, sugar and fat; some recipes also include egg. It has no single regional origin, and versions range from homemade bakes to bakery and packaged treats.
Its crisp bite and straightforward sweetness make it an easy snack with tea or coffee, or a small addition to a dessert plate. For many English-speaking readers, it works well as an occasional treat rather than a filling snack: 100 g provides 490 calories. Pair one with fresh fruit or unsweetened tea, or enjoy it alongside a lighter snack if you want a more balanced break.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
