Valentine's Day Puff Pastry Hearts -From Salt and Lavender

Since we're going to have a bunch of small hearts leftover from the strawberry hearts we're making .... what to do w/ the leftover hearts? We're going to make them and sprinkle w/ cinnamon and sugar. I'm calling them snickerdoodle hearts!

 

My kitchen is going to filled w/ sweet smells and happy grandbabies. The aunties who get the sweet tray delivery are going to be thrilled. I may add a heart shaped iced sugar cookie to our tray to round it out.

INGREDIENTS
1 sheet puff pastry
1 tablespoon butter melted (melt more if needed)
Cinnamon sugar to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400F and place the rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter.


If using puff pastry that comes in a brick, thaw according to package directions then roll it out on a floured surface. Use a heart cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes (my cookie cutter makes about 3" hearts). 


Transfer the hearts carefully to the baking sheet. Using the tip of a sharp knife (or a fork), make dots along the edges of the pastry so that the heart shapes don't puff out and warp when you bake them. Gently brush the melted butter onto each heart and then sprinkle each heart with some cinnamon sugar.


Bake until the pastry is lightly golden. This can take anywhere from 7-10 minutes. I would definitely check them after 8 minutes.

My grandbabies had so much fun delivering goodies at Christmas time, they look for any excuse to bring treats to their great, great aunties. It won't matter if the baked goods turn out well or not ... everyone will have fun. I'm just glad all my grandbabies like to cook/bake w/ grandma. Smiley Happy
