Love Cookies

I love making cookies at home, and for this time i decided to make a valentine day themed cookies....!! :)

Love cookies are really crisp and crumbly,a bit chewy at center.These are simple butter cookies with a candy glass center.

i admit that i struggled a lot to find red colored hard boiled sugar candies...but nothing is impossible..i finally found some red lollipops.. :P

These little adorable cookies would make a lovely gift for your special someone this v-day..! ;)

so are you ready to jump into the ocean of love this valentine season..?? :D

2. mix the vanilla extract and half egg.
3. then add the flour (sorry i forgot to take a picture)
4. mix it all together with your hands.
5. place the dough in refrigerator for about 15 minutes so the dough is easier to work with.

Step 3: Make the Cookies

2. cut out heart shapes by using a large and small heart cookie cutter.

*to avoid moving the shapes once cut , cut the larger heart first then place it on the baking sheet and finally cut out the smaller heart.*

5. place the tray in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges.
