15+ Valentine Sugar Cookie Recipe Try These Culinary Delights!

Ingredients You'll Need:

For the Cookies:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Red food coloring

For the Frosting:

• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Red and pink food coloring

Instructions:

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate larger bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until the dough comes together. If you want to add a touch of Valentine's Day spirit, add in a few drops of red food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Next, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use your favorite heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add a few drops of red and pink food coloring to each bowl to create different shades of pink and red.

Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a knife or piping bag to decorate them with the colorful frosting. Get creative and add some sprinkles or other decorations to make them even more festive.

And that's it! These delicious valentine sugar cookies are ready to be enjoyed by you and your loved ones. Whether you're sharing them with your significant other or giving them as a gift, these cookies are sure to spread love and happiness on this special day.
