Instructions

Work the ingredients together to make a dough. Colour a third of the dough pink with food colouring, or brown with cocoa powder.Refrigerate the two types of dough for at least half an hour.

First, roll out the white dough and make heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.

Bake at 175°C for about 10 minutes.
