- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If desired, add food coloring to achieve your preferred color.
- Roll and Cut:Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
- Bake:Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
- Decorate (Optional):Once the cookies have cooled, decorate with royal icing or sprinkles if desired.
- Serve:Enjoy your festive Valentine’s Day cookies!

- Make Ahead: Dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Roll and bake when ready to serve. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough for up to 2 months.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add food coloring to the dough for a fun pink or red hue. You can also incorporate chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or other festive ingredients for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the cookies as-is or decorate them with royal icing, sprinkles, or heart-shaped candies for an extra special touch on Valentine’s Day.
- Storage Tips: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.
