Aunty,
Made the sweet heart cookies during the weekend. Dough was very soft eventhough already rest in fridge for 20 mins. In the end, I left it in the fridge and just took out bit by bit to make. End result, nice heart cookies.

Hi delia,

next time if you dough is still too soft after chilling, add in additional flour to it cos sometimes your egg could be too much or overcreaming of the butter also cause the softness.
