Once the cookies are cooled, frost each solid 3-inch cookie with Pink Valentine Frosting and top with an open-centered cookie to form a sandwich. Frost the remaining small hearts and serve as separate cookies. (20 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the cookie dough.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
If you don't have heart-shaped cutters, use other shapes or simply cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
Store the frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
