Mr. Grinch Heart Cookies

I have always loved the movie "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas". When I saw these cookies, I just had to share them with you. I used my no-chill sugar cookie recipe as a base. I hope you love them as much as I do. Day 7 of Twelve Days of Christmas might be my favorite yet. We will just have to see! The sugar cookie recipe can be found in my Volume 1 cookbook.
