Our Valentine's Frosted Sugar Cookies are a bite-sized version of the classic sugar cookies with homemade buttercream frosting. So yummy and so easy to make!

Ingredients

The Best Sugar Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Butter (Salted Sweet Cream, softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour

Other ingredients

  • The Best Buttercream Frosting
  • Valentine's Day NonPareils Sprinkles
  • Heart Cookie Cutter Set
  • Wilton Color Right Food Coloring - Pink
  • Wilton Color Right Food Coloring - Crimson

Instructions

  1. To make the Sugar Cookie dough, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined. Add the baking powder and mix. Finally the flour, one cup at a time and mix just until combined.
  2. Roll out the cookie dough about 5/8" and use a small Heart Cookie Cutter to cut out the heart-shaped Sugar Cookie Bites.
  3. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes (depending on how thick or thin you rolled the dough). Check on the cookies at the 4-minute mark, because you don't want to over bake them.  The edges will be slightly golden when they are ready to come out of the oven.
  4. Allow the cookies to cool completely before you frost them.
  5. Make a batch of our Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe and split it into three portions. Leave one portion white and color the other two pink and red.
  6. Frost the cookie bite hearts.
  7. Sprinkle the top of the frosting with Valentine's Day NonPareils Sprinkles.

Notes

Frosting Colors:
For the red frosting, we mixed the frosting with 4 drops of Crimson Wilton Color Right Food coloring and 1 drop of Pink food coloring. To get this pretty color of light pink frosting we added 1 drop of Wilton Color Right Pink food coloring to the frosting.
