These delicious butter cookies are so simple to make using different size heart shape cut-outs, and fun to decorate anyway you like! I've decorated mine 3 different ways.
Here's the recipe:
3 cups Flour
3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
Topping:
1 Egg White and Sprinkles of your choice;
Melted Chocolate Chips or Bakers Chocolate;
Icing Sugar & Water for Glaze
In a bowl, mix the butter with the sugar, add eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix and form into dough. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
Always sprinkle a little flour on the board and use a little piece of dough at a time. With a rolling pin, stretch the dough, not too thin or too thick, about 1/4 of an inch.
Use cookie cutters (in this case, hearts) and place them on parchment lined baking sheet (or greased cookie sheet).
Beat egg white and brush it on cookies so topping will stick. Sprinkle sugar crystals, chocolate sprinkles, confetti or anything you like.
Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degree F. for about 15 - 20 minutes (or on Convection Bake for 9 to 13 minutes depending on size of cookies).
Different ways to decorate:
Melt chocolate in double boiler and dip some of the cookies half way.
Or make icing glaze and dip some of the cookies and let dry as is or add sprinkles of your choice onto glaze before it dries.
Enjoy...and Happy Valentine's Day!
