*Tip: If your child is a reader, allow them to read the recipe instructions and tell you, "the Grown-up", what to do. (Promotes reading, improves vocabulary knowledge and is a fun mini-role reversal!)

Grown-up: Heat oven to 350F (175C).  Place oven rack in centre position.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grown-up: Measure ingredients. Unroll dough. 

Child:  Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix.  Have child sprinkle sugar mixture over dough.

Working together: separate dough into strips.  Twist strips and then shape into form of hearts.  Pinch dough at bottom of heart.

Place heart twists on lined baking sheet.

Grown-up: Put baking sheet into oven

Child: set timer for 12-15 minutes.

Let cool on wire rack.  Using a plastic spatula, child can serve cooled twist hearts to plates.

Enjoy!
