Valentine Cookie Recipe

They're fluffy and fun and sure to make your honey happy.

Thanks to my friend Cathy for the sugar cookie recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 cups of flower
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

Cream butter, sugar, and egg with an electric mixer until fluffy.

Add sour cream and vanilla extract.

Roll dough to a thickness of 1/2" on a floured surface and cut into hearts with cookie cutters.

Put parchment paper on baking sheets (I used two and alternated) and bake each batch 8-10 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven. Remove and cool completely.

For the frosting I used in these pictures:

Mix 1 2/3 cups of powdered sugar with 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp walnut extract (I had to use almond, because walnut was nowhere to be found) and 2 Tablespoons of melted butter.
