Putting Together Your Sweetheart Cake Cookies

Once you’ve prepared the frosting and you’ve got your cake mix cookie recipe made, you’re ready to put the cookies together!

1. Attach the round frosting tip to the disposable piping bag and fill with frosting. (Or fill a sandwich bag with frosting and clip the corner to use as a piping bag!)
2. Once the cookies have cooled, use the mini heart cookie cutter to cut out a heart shape. Press the cookie cutter about 1/2-3/4 of the way through the cookie. You don’t want to go all the way through the cookie.
3. Remove the cookie cutter and fill the heart space with frosting. Repeat with each cookie until all of your cookies have frosting filled hearts!

Then you’ll have adorable Sweetheart Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies to enjoy with the people you love!
