How To Make Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies
Thankfully you will be so happy that these heart sugar cookies are a quick and painless process. Oh, and they taste heavenly too!
First Step: Warm the oven to 350 degrees F.
Second Step: Blend the butter and sugar together until it’s a smooth and creamy texture.
Third Step: Add in the egg and vanilla, make sure the egg is incorporated well.
Fourth Step: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend until combined. The sugar cookie dough should be stiff and there is not a need to refrigerate it.
Fifth Step: Roll out the dough and I find it’s less of a mess when you use parchment paper. It prevents sticking and will save your sanity.
Sixth Step: Bake the pink sugar cookies 8-10 minutes or until they are a light golden brown color. Don’t overbake them or they will be hard and dried out.
Seventh Step: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then place them on a cooling rack so they cool completely.
Eighth Step: While the heart-shaped cookies are cooling, begin making your frosting. Mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Then add your favorite food coloring until it reaches your desired color. Frost the cookies, decorate and enjoy!
