Unwrap the sugar cookie dough from the packaging onto a clean surface and knead in the flour. Cut the dough in half, then cut one of the halves into two quarter-sized pieces. Put the bigger portion off to the side and keep smaller pieces separate. Add two drops of red food coloring to one of the quarter-sized pieces to make it light pink, then set aside. Take the other smaller piece and add four drops of red food coloring to make a bright red. Roll out the light pink and red dough separately and cut out with heart-shaped cookie cutters. Then roll out the uncolored bigger portion of the cookie dough from earlier. Slice roll into desired cookie size, then layer all of the colored hearts on top of the uncolored dough. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and softly roll out the dough to press the hearts down till the dough is \u00bc inch thick. Take off the parchment paper and cut out hearts in a random pattern to create abstract colored hearts inside. Bake for 8-11 minutes. Let cool, then add a thin layer of strawberry buttercream to the backside of half of the cookies, then place an unfrosted cookie atop creating a sandwich.
