Last year I made these for Valentines day... this year Dave and I are over 130 lbs less than we were last year.. so I will not be making these. When there are more than two of us in the home to help eat them.. I will make them again :) I could not just let Valentines day go by without some cookie love though so I thought I would share these with you :) Have a wonderful day!!
This is my favorite sugar cookie recipe... well one of them! This one is really easy and always taste great.
Mix together
1/2 cup ( one cube ) softened butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla *you could add a little bit of another flavor.. almond is so good.. peppermint for Christmas*
1 egg
add in
2 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
I put it in the fridge for a little bit ( while I get the sprinkles ready ) just to make it a little easier to handle.
Drop by spoon (small.. cookie will be about double the size) onto the cookie sheet and then using the bottom of a glass you have dipped in the sprinkles to flatten the dough with.
Bake at 350 for about 7 minutes, you want to catch them just before they start to brown.
You can use a heart shaped cookie cutter.... then try the butter cream recipe from java cupcakes to frost them. They are so good! I am not used to decorating anything, having as many kids as I did it was about how many I could make and how fast.. they could eat them faster than I could cook them.. and they could care less what they looked like. So I need a bit more ( ok a lot ) practice with my decorating.
Michelle these look so yummy...I can actually imagine in my mind how they taste..:)
ReplyDeleteThanks.. they were really good... Since I am not going to be making them I was thinking I could just think about them and remember how good they taste :)
DeleteWe will be making some valentine cookies today, and I'm only having one...or two. But it's going to be difficult!
ReplyDeleteI pulled out a three cake pops from the freezer... I added one to his lunch and we will each have one after dinner...just a little something with sprinkles on it :)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look so adorable. I love how they are heart shaped and decorated with sprinkles too. I have a hard time controlling myself with cookies too. They are just too good. Congrats on your weight loss, and have a happy valentine's day
ReplyDeleteThanks... they are only heart shaped thanks to a heart shaped cookie cutter :) Hope you had a wonderful Valentines day too :)
DeleteLooks LOVEly! Congrats on your combined weight loss!
