Because if I can make perfect red velvet sugar cookies with this recipe, I promise, you can make perfect cookies too! You don’t need any special tools and you definitely don’t need to chill the dough.
In a large bowl mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl mix together butter and sugar until smooth, at least 2 minutes and then add egg, vanilla extract and red food coloring and beat.
Slowly add in the flour mixture a little bit at a time until the dough is fully combined (if dough becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface, wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand). Divide the dough into two parts and roll each portion out to ¼ inch thickness. I don’t know why, but this is always my favorite part!
Take one part of the dough and cut into heart shapes using a cookie cutter, transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet then using a smaller heart shaped cookie cutter and cut smaller hearts into centers of half of the hearts.
Remove the smaller hearts and re-roll the remaining dough, continue cutting until all dough is used. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.
Mix together cream cheese and butter until fully combined, slowly add powdered sugar until fully combined. Spread cream cheese filling over whole hearts then place cookies with heart cut centers over tops. Sprinkle with Valentine’s sprinkle. Enjoy!
