The Ingredients You'll Need
Butter, Sugar, and Flour
The key ingredients in any sugar cookie recipe are butter, sugar, and flour. Make sure to use unsalted butter as it gives the cookies a richer flavor. You can use either granulated sugar or powdered sugar, depending on your preference. As for flour, all-purpose flour works best for this recipe.
Eggs, Vanilla Extract, and Baking Powder
To bind the ingredients together, you'll need eggs. For a more flavorful cookie, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. This will give your cookies a delicious vanilla scent. And last but not least, baking powder is essential for making the cookies rise and giving them a soft texture.
The Simple Steps
Cream the Butter and Sugar
Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Add in the Eggs and Vanilla Extract
Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
Sift in the Flour and Baking Powder
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. This will help to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth dough. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Chill and Roll Out the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out heart-shaped cookies or any other shape you prefer.
Bake and Decorate
Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating with frosting, sprinkles, or any other toppings you desire.
The Perfect Valentine's Day Treat
This easy sugar cookie recipe for Valentine's Day is perfect for showing your love and appreciation to those special people in your life. The cookies are soft, buttery, and oh so delicious. So go ahead and make a batch of these cookies and spread the love this Valentine's Day.
