Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pink food colouring, see notes
- 1 rose food colouring, see notes
- 1 candy sprinkles, your choice of colour/texture
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until well combined and light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Next, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the mixture to the butter and sugar mixture in thirds, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Now, portion the cookie dough into three equal amounts. Set one portion aside.
- Add a drop of rose food colouring to a second portion, and pink food colouring to a third portion. Beat until no white cookie dough remains.
- Start with one of the three cookie dough portions - white, rose, or pink. With the heart attachment in your cookie press, fill the press cylinder and press the cookies onto the baking sheet.
- Top the cookies with sprinkles or coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
