Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the natural food coloring to the butter until you achieve your desired hue.
- Slowly mix in the flour, ensuring it is measured correctly to prevent dry cookies.
- Once combined, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick and use the heart cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Using natural food coloring may result in a softer color than artificial options. Make sure to measure flour correctly for best results.
