Bake the cookies in a 325 degree (preheated) oven for exactly 13 minutes. Let cool completely on a baking rack before devouring them or serving them to your loved ones! ...Nom nom nom! :)
They are definitely homemade! ;)
If you prefer the original cookie shape, simply use granulated sugar rather than colored sugar, and leave in circle shape.
Happy Valentine's Day!
