Valentine Sugar Cookie Cutouts

Happiness is . . .

Valentine Sugar Cookie Cutouts . . .

This year I’m keeping it simple. Instead of buying little junk trinkets and expensive store bought candy for my Sweets, I opted to bake Heart shaped Valentine Sugar Cookie Cutouts.

This is the same recipe I use for my Christmas cutouts handed down from my paternal grandmother. You can find that post with all the steps and photos HERE.

Oh . . . and then there were the caramel brownies. But we’ll talk about that another day . . . sigh . . .

But here’s the printable recipe! Enjoy!

Sugar Cookie Cutout Recipe:

Cream together:

2 sticks room temperature Butter
2 cups white granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Sift and blend together:

1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
4 cups all purpose flour

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend together.

Roll out to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness of flat surface that has been sprinkled with 50/50 mixture of flour and powdered sugar.

Cut out into desired shapes. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 min. Cool on baking rack.

Royal Icing:

4 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp light karo syrup
juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon
dash or two of salt
enough milk to get it to the desired consistency
food coloring if desired

Mix it all together and frost away! Yes, these are a family weakness!
