   Mix the butter, sugar, and salt together. Sift the flour, add it to the mixture, and knead everything into a shortbread dough as quickly as possible. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then roll out on a lightly sugared work surface to a thickness of 1 cm, cut out heart shapes, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
