Note from Greek jar:
To make my cookies, I used a 7cm long cookie cutter and with the ingredients above, I made 48 cookies, just what I needed. Adjust the ingredients and cookie cutter size to your preference and make your very own unique heart cookie!
During the warmer months, it is good to take the dough out of the fridge a little at a time to make the cookies easier to work with.
