Strawberry Heart Oreo Cookies

I just mixed these up for my kids for when they get home from school today. They were super easy and because I am such an awesome baker...I messed one up taking the pan out of the oven as a result I had an ugly one to "sample". They are yummy.

I didn't make homemade frosting because I am lazy and I find that the butter cream flavor in the tub is sufficient. So give em a whirl :)

Tip...when they are barely out of the oven and still super hot, I took a butter knife and cleaned up the shape a little so the heart shape was a little more precise.
