Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 F
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer whip the soften butter with sugar until it’s combined. Then add the flour and mix it again just until it comes together.
Place the whole thing on a clean surface and sprinkle little flour as you form a soft dough. Then roll it out to ½ or ¼ inch thickness as per your choice.
Using a mini heart shape cookie cutter, cut out the cookies and place it on the cookie sheet.
Gather the leftover dough and roll it out again to cut out more cookies.
Bake in the middle rack for 17 minutes. Once done let the cookies sit on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
For cookie decoration, I melted some dark chocolate chips. I dipped partially some of the cookies and topped with sprinkle. Drizzled randomly on few more cookies and topped with sprinkle. As for the rest, I whisked powdered sugar with water and pink food color. Dipped the cookie gently to cover it all around, and topped with sprinkle.
Notes
The baking time will change depending on the size of the cookies.
