Instructions

Cookies

• Mix the butter with the sugar for 3 minutes until fluffy.
  1⅔ cups butter, 1 cup sugar
• Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix for another minute.
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 egg

  3¼ cup all-purpose flour, ⅛ teaspoon salt
• Wrap it in plastic and lay for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Roll out between two baking papers until you have a thin dough. Cut out the cookies with a heart shaped cutter and place them on a baking plate lined with baking paper.
• Put the baking plate 30 minutes in the refrigerator (that way the dough becomes very cold, and won't run out as you go baking, so the cookie keep their form)
• Preheat the oven to 350 °F or 320 °F.
• Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until golden brown.
• Let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then place them on a wire rack.
• Let them continue to cool until room temperature.

Icing

• Put the icing powder and water in a bowl and mix until smooth. Add extra water if necessary.
  ½ pound icing powder, 2 tablespoons water
• Put the icing in a piping bag and cut off a small tip.
• First, draw a thin line on the outside of the cookie. Then fill the heart with the icing.
• Allow to harden for half an hour.
• If you want to write a text, quote or like to make a drawing than you can do that now.
