Cut tiny hearts out of the center of sugar cookie rounds, then fill them with pomegranate-flavored cream cheese frosting. Leftover filling can be used to sandwich the small hearts together.
With a few extra ingredients, you can transform Alton's Sugar Cookies into decadent Cocoa Hearts - gooey bittersweet chocolate and orange marmalade sandwiched between two cocoa-laced cookies.
Press rounds of sugar cookie dough into mini muffin tins to create the shells for our bite-sized Sweetheart Tarts. Finish the baked shells with cherry or currant jam and a whole juicy cherry.
For these nutty Almond Kisses, mix finely chopped almonds and almond extract into Alton's dough, then roll into balls and bake. Finish with a toss in powdered sugar and sparkling red sanding sugar.
