Happy Valentines Day! Make these lovely little cookie to sweeten up you day!

 

To make these delicious cookies you will need...

140g Icing Sugar

250g Butter

1 Egg Yolk

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

375g Flour



First pre-heat the oven to 190°C. Next mix the icing sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla extract in a bowl until it is nice and creamy. Then add a little bit of flour at a time so it goes into a dough consistency. Wrap the dough in cling film and pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Once it is out of the fridge sprinkle some flour over a worktop and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Using either a normal round or heart shaped cookie cutter, cut them into shapes. Lay them on a lined baking tray and pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes. When they are out of the oven put them on a cooling tray and start making the icing.

For the icing...

225g Icing Sugar

1 Egg White

Cold Water

Pink or Red Food Colouring

Mix the icing sugar and the egg white together, if it is a little stiff put in a splash of water. Then add a drop of food colouring. Next scoop it into a piping bag and ice a little heart shape. If you want to add any other decoration go ahead, but I think they still look nice plain.
