1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1. Cream the butter and sugar together
2. Add the eggs, vanilla, salt
3. Add flour and baking powder
Fridge for an hour (or overnight!) then roll out on a floured surface and cut. Bake at 400F for 6-8 minutes. (For me the magic number was 8-9 minutes). Makes 90-100 irregularly shaped heart cookies (aka, a lot).
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp buttermilk
2 tsp light corn syrup
a splash of vanilla
Mix! If too thick, add a few drops of water.
At least two batches are needed to frost all of the cookies above.
