📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and almond extract. Stir in the oats, flour and salt and mix until well combined.
2
Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a well floured surface. If the dough seems a bit sticky, refrigerate it for ⏱️ 30-60 minutes or until it firms up. How soft the butter is plays a huge role in how sticky the dough is.
3
Cut the cookies with a heart-shaped cookie cutter and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° F for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
4
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle 6-8 chocolate chips on top. Let them melt and then spread with and offset spatula or knife. Let cool completely on wire racks.
5
Use royal icing to pipe conversation heart saying onto the cookies if desired. Store tightly covered. These cookies freeze well for several weeks.
