Valentines Day Cookies
I’ve been playing around. Here are some cookies I am contemplating using in the near future… think any are keepers? And be honest!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c Butter I Use Unsalted
- 2 c Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 whole Eggs Yolks
- 4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp. Almond Extract
- 4 c All-purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
Instructions
- In a mixer, beat butter and sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add in 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks and mix until combined.
- Add in vanilla and almond extract; mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly (about a cup at a time) add flour to butter mixture and combine. You can use a mixer or not, just depends on how strong you are.
- Mix ingredients until they are just combined.
- Put dough in some Saran wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. When you are ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out, cut out cookies, and bake for 6-8 minutes.

I’m sorta getting artsy fartsy. Dont know why.
Im working on some Valentines petit fours… hopefully (finally!)
I love the floral patterns of white on red and teal on white. I also love the red with little white hearts. They are all beautiful! Great work! I love the way that you do so many different patterns and colors and yet they all work together.
Have a great weekend!
These are so cute! I love the colors and designs-almost too pretty to eat..well, almost 😉
I love the colors you used. The ones with the dots & tiny hearts are gorgeous!
Ohhh I love these! Valentine cookies that aren’t heart shaped! I never think out of the box like that. I am going to try to copy these!! :0 I will give you credit. 😉
Oh My these are the best cookies ever…to good…fantastic splendid amazing….
Looking foward to a tutorial n tips on these…..cheers…
I love these. I am going to try to reproduce them for my Valentine’s party this weekend. I’ll tell everyone where the idea came from. Did you use royal icing for decorating or your standard corn syrup icing? I can’t wait for the tutorial. I’m going to start making mine Wednesday…so excited. Thank you!!!
Really cute! I especially love the hearts with squiggles under them, and the red with white hearts, the swirls, the lines with the single heart, and…..
Great work!
I will be on the look out for cakesters!
Your cookies are SO FUN!! Love getting updates and new ideas from you!
Love them all, but the red one with the white filigree (?) is my favorite, followed closely by the red one withe the white hearts…I might have to give them a try! Very impressive 🙂
Love, love, love the white cookies with the blue and red dots on them. And the red cookies with little white hearts off center. And the I (heart) U ones made out of lines are pretty cool too-they aren’t my style per say, but somebody out there will love how…..for lack of better term….retro and edge-y they are! You cookies inspire me to bake=)
