Another option to use my heart shaped cookie cutters on – melted butter sugar cookies.

  Another tweak after making some cookies with softened butter and another batch with crisco.  These come together quickly and are super soft.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And, remember to preheat your oven before baking.

• Ingredients list
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbs water
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine butter and sugar.  Add egg, water  and vanilla.  I added some red food color here to make the cookie dough pink.  (Totally optional step)

Mix in dry ingredients. If dough seems a little dry, add another tbs or two of water.  Sprinkle flour on a flat surface to desired thickness.  Cut out cookies.

Place on prepared sheet. Bake 7 to 10 minutes.

These look remarkably similar after baking!

Cool completely.  Frost with vanilla frosting. 

Store in covered container.  Thanks so much for stopping by
