    Planning on surprising my kids with this on Valentine’s Day. Did you use a single heart cookie cutter and just stack them next to each other or did you use a double heart cookie cutter? Your hearts look so well defined, I’m thinking you used a single heart but I’d love to know for certain. Thanks!
