These Frosted Valentine Butter Cookies are ideal for sharing with loved ones on Valentine's Day or any other special occasion. They're soft and buttery, and they're topped with a sweet glaze.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Sprinkles or decorations heart-shaped for Valentine's theme

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt

Set aside

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms

Divide the dough in half

Add a few drops of red food coloring to one half and knead until the color is evenly distributed

Wrap both halves of the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Roll out the plain and colored dough separately on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness

Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies from both doughs

Place them on the prepared baking sheet

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden

Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the frosting

Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed

Once the cookies are completely cooled, frost them with the prepared icing and add sprinkles or decorations for a festive touch

Let the frosting set before enjoying your delicious Frosted Valentine Butter Cookies!
