Bake cookies. Prepare cookie dough following recipe instructions. Divide into three equal portions. Using Christmas Red icing color, tint one portion red. Using Rose icing color, tint one portion dark rose and remaining portion light rose.
Roll out dough, one color at a time, to 1/8 in. thickness. Using heart cutter, cut out and bake cookies.
Helpful Hint: Keep in mind you’ll need two cookies per sandwich, so cut cookies in even amounts.
