I love making these heart-shaped crackers for Valentine's Day because they add a special touch to any celebration. The joy of cutting out the dough into little hearts and watching them crisp up in the oven never gets old. They are perfect for pairing with savory dips or just enjoying as a light snack. The best part? They can be flavored in so many ways to cater to what I’m feeling that day. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do!

When I first made these heart-shaped crackers, I was surprised by how easy and fun they were! The simplicity of mixing the dough takes no time, and it's so gratifying to see a batch of beautiful little hearts come out of the oven. I especially love to serve them with a homemade dip or a spread; it really brings a special flair to the snack table.

One tip I’ve learned is to make sure to roll out the dough evenly to ensure uniform baking. This way, every cracker is perfectly crisp and delicious. I also encourage experimenting with different seasonings; adding herbs or spices can really elevate their flavor profile!

Ingredients

For the Crackers

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon dried herbs (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the crackers.

Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and salt. Mix until crumbly, then gradually add water until the dough forms. If desired, mix in garlic powder and herbs.

Roll Out and Cut

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cracker shapes and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake

Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool before serving.

Pro Tips

Feel free to experiment with different spices and cheese for more flavor variations. You can also sprinkle some sesame seeds on top before baking for added texture.
