Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Cut out the hearts with recesses and bake on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) for 10-20 minutes (depending on the size of the cookie) in a preheated oven to 180-190 ° C. Then cool completely for about an hour on a wire rack.
