Heart Cookies
Soft and buttery heart-shaped sugar cookies decorated with a stunning pink and white marbled glaze for a professional bakery look.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond Extract
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 drop Pink Food Coloring
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out heart shapes.
- Place cookies on prepared sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are barely golden. Let cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a shallow wide bowl until smooth.
- Place a tiny drop of pink food coloring on the icing and swirl gently with a toothpick.
- Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the icing, lift, and let excess drip off.
- Place cookies on a wire rack and allow the icing to set completely (about 1 to 2 hours).
Notes
- Chill the cut-out dough for 10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Use gel food coloring for the best marbling results.
- Do not over-swirl the colors or they will become muddy instead of marbled.
