  • Split dough into equally sized balls, one for each color you will be using.
  • Color each dough ball.

  • Place hearts on a greased or lined baking sheet and bake at 300° for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

There are 7 traditional conversation heart colors: white, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
I used a mini-heart cutter to make these look more like the originals.
