How to make and decorate sugar cookies for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ Cups Flour (180g)
- ¼ Teaspoon Baking Powder (1.25g)
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt (1.5g)
- ½ Cup Butter, Softened (112g)
- ½ Cup Sugar (95g)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (5ml)
- 1 Egg
- Melting Chocolate or Candy Melts

Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set
aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and
fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing just until combined. Add the dry
ingredients to the creamed mixture, beating just until a soft dough
forms. Form the dough into a disk, place in a plastic baggie or plastic
wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easier to handle.
- Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to
about ¼ inch thickness. Cut out cookies using heart shaped cookie
cutters. Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch
apart from each other. Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for 6-8 minutes
or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Melt chocolate or
candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each cookies into the
chocolate and top with sprinkles. Place cookies back on the baking
sheet and let the chocolate or candy harden.
