Pre-heat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas Mark 2.

Lightly grease a baking tray.

Place the butter and the sugar in a mixing bowl and beat together until pale.

Add the flour and bring the mixture together until a soft dough is formed.

Tip the dough onto a floured surface and using a floured hand gently roll out to ½ cm thickness.

Using a heart shaped cutter, cut out the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
