Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Open the tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough and gently separate the dough along the perforations to form eight triangles.
-
Spread a thin layer of softened butter or margarine evenly over each triangle.
-
Sprinkle each buttered triangle generously with Italian seasoning, ensuring even coverage.
-
Create four stacks by placing two seasoned triangles on top of each other, aligning the points and stretching the dough slightly if necessary to match the shapes.
-
Using a 2.5-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, press firmly into the center of each stack to cut out two heart shapes from each stack, yielding eight hearts total.
-
Carefully transfer the heart-shaped dough pieces to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each roll for expansion.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and fully puffed.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
