LOVE Cookies

Last night I felt so good and that made me bake some cookies. Not ordinary cookies, but ones filled with hearts and lots of love.

Today I shared them all around my neighbors and they really loved them. It's such a great thing so spread love to the people around you <3

I found the inspiration on www.munchkinmunchies.com (design and recipe) and I must tell that it's a keeper.

A few more days to go and February ( the month of celebrating love )is here and everyone should bake these cookies and share them with the loved ones and friends.

Here is the recipe that I tried. It's really easy to make and the result is delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups flour
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. salt
• pink dye

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1.  Cream butter and sugar. 
2.  Add eggs and vanilla.
3.  Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Mix well.
4.  Divide dough into two equal parts and add pink dye to one of them ( add as much pink dye as you want until you reach the color that you like). Mix well.

It's not mandatory to chill the dough before using.

Roll to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes. 

Here is a small tutorial on how to make them. as in the pictures.

1. Cut your cookies using a round cutter.
2. Use a small heart shaped cutter right in the middle.
3. Add the pink small heart to a white cookie and the white one to the pink cookie.
4. Press the heart a little bit to fill out the space.
5. Use a small rolling pin at the end to smooth the cookies.

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or just until beginning to turn brown around the edges.
