Yield about 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
4 large egg yolks
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Tint remaining 1/3 of the dough pink., On a lightly floured surface, roll smaller portion to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 1-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Brush 1 side of hearts with water and gently stack together to form two 5-in.-long logs, running a finger along sides to smooth edges. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes., Divide chocolate chip dough into 10 portions. Roll each into a 5-in. coil. Brush outsides of heart logs with water; mold coils around heart logs, gently pressing to adhere. Roll to mold the dough into smooth rolls. Place wrapped cookie logs in airtight containers. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2-in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 12-14 minutes.

These sweetheart slices were a little too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a less sweet frosting.
