Vanilla Dipped Sugar Cookie Hearts


Here is a cute, quick idea for Valentines Day. These cookies were so easy to make and look so pretty in a box or heart shaped basket lined with tissue paper. If you need a last minute cookie or gift idea this would be perfect.



Vanilla Dipped Sugar Cookie Hearts


2 - Pouches Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix (prepared)or use your own homemade sugar cookie recipe


1/2 Block Vanilla Candy Coating(I used Vanilla Almond Bark)


Valentine Sprinkles of your choice


Icing Paste for color tinting (pink or red)



Prepare sugar cookie mix according to package directions. Use directions for sugar cut outs. Cut cookies using a heart shaped cookie cutter. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and bake as directed, let cool completely. Melt the vanilla coating for about 5 minutes using the defrost setting on your microwave. I melt mine in 2 minutes intervals then stir and put back in the microwave until fully melted and creamy. Dip one end of the cookie in candy coating, add sprinkles and place on waxed paper until dry. It is as easy as that.


Recipe yields about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
