Instructions

For high altitude adjustments see notes.

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

    after creaming butter and sugars

  • Press spoonfuls of dough into the heart molds. Fill each heart mold ¼- ½ of the way. It’s easy to transport the mold if you place it on baking sheet (I leave it on the baking sheet while the cookies bake too).
