1. Heart -shaped Cookies

If you are looking to make a dessert that is very easy and fun to make, heart-shaped icing-covered sugar cookies should be your go-to dessert for any occasion. You can use meringue-based icing to decorate them. You can also write your cute little secret messages on the cookies with the icing!

Ingredients: unsalted butter, heart shaped cookie cutter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and maida or all-purpose flour. You can make icing out of sugar, meringue powder, water and vanilla extracts, and some food colouring.

Method:

1. Making the Dough: Beat the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl till light and fluffy. Slowly introduce the egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt and flour. Continue to mix until well combined. Wrap the dough in cling wrap made of plastic and form it into a ball. Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes until firm (at least one hour, up to overnight).
2. Cutting the cookie: Remove the dough and allow it to come to room temperature. Spread some flour on a surface and roll the dough out into a 10-inch-thick sheet with a rolling pin. Start cutting cookies with heart shaped cookie cutter.
3. Bake the cookies: The heart shaped cookies should be baked at ~180 degrees for about 10 – 12 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

The cookies are now ready to be decorated with different coloured meringue icings. You can write your sweet messages on these delicious crispy cookies.
