Cute Heart Cookies!

Hiya everyone! So today I thought I would do something different and show you how to make some really delicious heart shaped cookies! I know this is pretty basic stuff, but since it is my first baking post I thought why not? Please feel free to let me know if I should do more of these baking posts, but this is the method I use!

You will need:

225g Butter

350g Plain white flour

175g Caster sugar

175g Brown sugar

1 tsp Vanilla extract 

1tsp Salt

1tsp Baking powder

2 Eggs

Heart cutter (or any cutter you have) 

Greasing paper/ egg brush

Bowls

Rolling pin

Scales

**Side note, this recipe makes quite a lot of cookies, so you can half the mixture if needed**

Method:

1) Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.

2) Mix the flour, baking powder and salt.

3) In another bowl, mix the sugar, vanilla extract and butter. Then beat in the eggs.

4) Gradually beat in the mixture from the other bowl. Then knead until you have something like this...

5) Split the dough into two halves and roll out until flat. Wrap the dough you are not using in cling film and put it in the fridge whilst you wait.

6) Using an egg brush or greasing paper, spread butter over your pan. Then cut hearts (or any other shape) out of the dough and align on the pan.

7) Bake for 9-11 minutes and enjoy!

Thank you for reading this post, and I hope you enjoy making these! Please give me suggestions on what I should write about next, but for now I'll see you soon!
