Strawberry Valentine Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Red food coloring optional
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy
Add the egg and strawberry extract and beat until everything is well mixed
If you want the dough to be pink, you can add a few drops of red food coloring
Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a different bowl
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms
Take two equal pieces of dough and roll them out into discs
Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least an hour
Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet
On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4-inch thick
Cutting out cookies in the shape of hearts is easy
Just put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared
After the oven is hot, bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way
Now that the cookies are cool, put a thin layer of strawberry jam on the bottom of half of them
Add the rest of the cookies on top to make jam-filled sandwiches
For the last touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the tops of the cookies
Feel free to share and enjoy these sweet Strawberry Valentine Cookies
