Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, then gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying your secret heart-shaped treats.
