Ingredients You Will Need
Baking Essentials:
All-purpose flour - 2 ½ cups
Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Unsalted butter - 1 cup, softened
Sugar - 1 cup
Egg - 1, large
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
For Decorating:
Confectioners' sugar - 2 cups
Milk - 2 tablespoons
Food coloring - red and pink
Sprinkles - for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Step 3: Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour. Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 4: Roll and Cut the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 5: Decorate Your Cookies
Once the cookies are completely cool, it's time to decorate! In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Divide the mixture into two separate bowls and add a few drops of red food coloring into one and pink into the other. Dip each cookie into the desired colored glaze and add sprinkles on top for a fun and festive touch.
Step 6: Spread Love with Your Homemade Cookies
Let the glaze dry completely before packaging your cookies in cute gift bags or boxes. Your loved ones will be delighted to receive these homemade treats made with love.
Now that you have the perfect sugar cookie recipe for Valentine's Day, it's time to get baking and spread some love with these delicious and thoughtful treats. Happy Valentine's Day!
