Valentine's Day - Heart Shaped Cookies
3 cups sugar
2 lbs. butter
6 eggs
6 T. baking powder
8 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 cups sugar
3 lbs. butter
9 eggs
9 tsp. baking powder
2 cups flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1. Cream the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until creamy. Mix together the flour and baking powder.
2. Add the flour mixture a little at a time. Mix into a dough ball. Dough will roll out better when it is refrigerated
for a few hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350. Roll out portions of the dough on a floured surface to about an 1/8-inch
thickness.
4. Cut into heart shapes (or whatever other shapes you may desire).
5. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 10-15 minutes or until done.
6. You can decorate these cookies with candy sprinkles, tinted sugar, crushed candy canes or
whatever else you desire.
7. To make glaze icing, mix together a box of confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and enough
lemon juice to make the glaze a smooth consistency.
