Marbled Heart Cookies
These Marbled Heart Cookies make the perfect dessert for Valentine's Day. It is a classic homemade sugar cookie cut into a heart and covered with a colorful marbled royal icing. I can't think of a more romantic way to say "I love you" to that special someone.
Ingredients
For The Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour divided
For The Marbled Icing
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 4-5 Tablespoons milk
- 4-5 Tablespoons corn syrup
- Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs, vanilla and salt and continue blending until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly add the flour, mixing just until combined.
- Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out onto a floured surface about a half of an inch thick and cut into desired shapes.
- Place shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing by combining the confectioners sugar, milk and corn syrup in a small bowl. Add more or less milk to adjust consistency.
- Squeeze a small amount of food coloring into the icing and use a toothpick to drag the color across the surface.
- Dip each cook into the icing, allowing access to drip off. Place on a plate or cooking rack and allow the icing to set. About one hour.
