Valentines Vanilla Heart Cookies

These are the perfect Valentines Day cookie. 

They are not regular sugar cookies. 

They are vanilla cookies. 

And they are absolutely delicious!

Ingredients Needed ; 

~ 1 1/2 Cups Flour 

~ 3/4 Cup Butter (not margarine), cut up into little pieces

 ~ 1 Cup Sugar

~ 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract 

~ 1 Egg (not pictured .. opps)

What To Do ; 

~ Sift flour into a large bowl.

~ Add butter and crumble into flour until you get the texture of bread crumbs 

~ Add sugar, vanilla, and egg

~ Stir well 

~ NOTE ~ the dough will appear crumbly (have faith) 

~ Take about half the dough in your hands and pack it into a large ball 

~ Roll out on lightly floured surface (only roll half the dough at a time)

~ Don't roll too thin or the cookies will burn 

~ Use cookie cutter then transfer shapes onto a large cookie sheet 

~ Leave some space between each cookie on the sheet - these cookies spread a little bit, but they don't lose their shape 

~ Bake in a preheated oven of 350 degree for 10 - 12 minutes until golden

Before Baking

After Baking ~ On Cooling Rack 

~ Transfer to wire rack for cool immediately 

~ Do not decorate cookies until completely cooled, as tempting as it is 

~ Decorate in any way you wish 

All Decorated!

NOTE ; 

                      I only baked half of the batch of cookies. I froze the other half in a freezer safe bag to be baked on another date.
