Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Red or pink food coloring (natural option preferred)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. If necessary, adjust with more flour.
  3. Divide the dough; color one portion with red or pink food coloring as desired.
  4. Chill the colored dough briefly before rolling it out into a rectangle. Cut out heart shapes using a cookie cutter.
  5. Form logs with the heart shapes and wrap in plastic wrap to chill until solid.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and slice the chilled logs into rounds.
  7. Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden on the bottom.
