Sugar cookie dough ideas and tips:

It’s a good idea to line the pan you will be working with. Use parchment paper to line your pan. It will prevent the bark from sticking it and means you have less clean up work to do!

Before you try to cut or break the bark into chunks, let it cool completely. The harder it is, the easier it will be to break and cut. You can harden the cookie bark in the refrigerator if you’d like!

You can keep the cookie bark stored at room temperature for a few days, about 2-3 without issues. If you prefer the bark a little more firm you can always store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you want to make this recipe all year long you can do one of two things…stock up on conversation hearts…or just swap them out for another similarly seasonal candy whenever you get the urge to make a batch!

When you’re feeling more like sugar cookies instead of bark, try my Copycat Frosted Swig Sugar Cookies. The cookies are the same idea and good for any holiday! Even better, I have a Sugar Cookie Popcorn recipe on my blog.

Kids will love all of the colorful Valentine’s Day treats. You may also especially love my Brown Sugar M&M Blondies. Happy almost February!
