Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies
Learn how to make the best Valentine’s Day sugar cookies with simple pantry ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cup organic sugar
- 4 organic eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 5 cup all purpose organic flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Next, beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Last, stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Be careful to not overmix!
- Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Bakers Tip: Use Powdered sugar instead of flour, or a mix of flour and powdered sugar, to cover your surface to avoid sticking. This will help keep your dough buttery.
- After your dough is rolled out, cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets covered with parchment or a silpat (love these no-toxic cookie sheets!)
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven and cool completely before frosting.
- For cookie cutters, I bought this set on Amazon is amazing and I love the various sizes!
