Tips:

- Use a sturdy cookie dough that will hold its shape when cut. A dough made with butter or shortening will work best. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. - Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out the hearts. If the knife or cutter is dull, it will drag on the dough and make it difficult to get clean cuts. - Place the cookies on a greased baking sheet. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan. - Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn golden brown. If you overbake them, they will become dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them. This will help prevent the icing from melting. - Use a variety of sprinkles, candies, and other decorations to make your cookies festive. - Enjoy your stained glass heart cutout cookies! ###

Chocolate chip cookie dough, sugar cookie dough, and shortbread cookie dough are all good choices. - If you don't have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, you can use a round cookie cutter and cut out a heart shape with a knife. - You can also use melted chocolate or candy melts to decorate the cookies. Just let the melted chocolate or candy melts cool slightly before spreading them on the cookies. - You can find a variety of sprinkles, candies, and other decorations at your local grocery store or craft store. - Once you've decorated the cookies, let them dry completely before serving them.
