It is time for our weekly recipe share! :-) My children and I look forward to your submissions every week!
Kiddo #4 baked a new cookie this week, a recipe that she actually came up with herself! She called them "Happy Heart Cookies" and they were REALLY good! :-)
Dough
2 sticks butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons light packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
Beat the butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar and salt in large bowl. Add the egg; beat until well blended. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Shape the dough into a disc; wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least a hour or until firm.
White frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
Stir powdered sugar in first, butter second, vanilla third, then milk in a large bowl. Then add in pink food coloring (optional)
Take a heart shaped cookie cutter and place in dough. Place the cut outs on a greased cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Then frost the cookies with frosting. You can decorate the cookies with chocolate chips.
ENJOY!

Have a great day!
Those Happy Heart Cookies look so good! Your daughter is very creative. Thanks a lot for hosting and have a great Tuesday Lisa.
Your daughter is very creative with her "Happy Heart Cookie"! She must be taking after her momma! I too, made a cookie this week from a recipe I found in a children's activity book about Noah's Ark. I'm not a cookie decorator by any means but it was fun! Perhaps your daughter could post a few tips ;)
Thanks so much for hosting Lisa. Hope you're having a great week!

I shared brownies with cookie butter frosting - cookie butter is like peanut butter but made out of Biscoff cookies. It's available at Trader Joe's - called cookie butter - or at other retailers it's called Biscoff spread. I've seen the Biscoff spread at Target.
Thanks for hosting this blog hop! Have a great week full of yummy food!
