After the cookies have cooled, cover each heart with white frosting.
Add a red heart to the center of each cookie with red frosting, using additional yellow or orange frosting to create a flame.
For Sacred Heart cookies add chocolate sprinkles to represent the thorns across the center.
For Immaculate Heart cookies add pearl or flower shaped sprinkles and green leaves.
"In the Sacred Heart every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden. In that Divine Heart beats God's infinite love for everyone, for each one of us individually."
Very clever!
