Quick and Easy Valentine Cookies

Posted Feb 08 2012 1:41pm

These adorable cookies not only taste great but can be whipped up in a few minutes.  Use store-bought frosting (such as Betty Crocker Cherry Frosting) and you’ll have beautiful cookies in no time at all.

Ingredients For Cookies:
1 stick (1/2 cup) shortening
1/3 cup cane sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Ingredients For Frosting:
1 12-ounce can Betty Crocker Cherry Frosting
sprinkles if desired

Preheat oven to 350.

In a stand mixer, combine shortening and sugars until creamy.  Add vanilla and eggs and blend for 1 minute.

Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat on medium-low speed until incorporated.

Using a rolling pin, roll to 1/2” thickness.  Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on a greased or lined cookie sheet.

Bake cookies for 10 minutes.   Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

To make wafer cookie sandwiches:  place frosting between two cookies

To drizzle frosting on cookies:  microwave frosting in a microwave safe container for 10 seconds.  Drizzle over cookies.
