- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and your choice of natural food coloring to achieve a desired hue.
- Gradually add flour to the mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Gather the dough and shape it into a log, wrapping it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, remove the dough and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Use the heart cookie cutter to create heart shapes from the slices.
