Description
Delightful heart-shaped cookies that are perfect for any occasion, bringing sweetness and love to your gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then gradually add flour and salt until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into a log, about 2 inches in diameter, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, unwrap the dough and slice cookies about 1/4-inch thick with a sharp knife, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks, then decorate if desired.
Notes
Flouring your knife between slices helps prevent the dough from sticking.
