Ah Valentines Day.
One of my favorite holidays because it gives you an excuse to be extra
mushy and go out on an extra special date with your special someone. One of my favorite quotes comes from a wise
old bear.
{Free Printable!!}
AND can I tell you that I feel like the smartest person alive because I figured out how to do a free printable....it only took FOREVER!
Pooh and Piglet
Swirl Valentine Sugar Cookies
2 3/4 Cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 C Soft Margarine (NOT real butter)
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Almond Flavoring
(To get enough dough I 4x the recipe)
*In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
*In another large bowl Cream: Margarine, sugar, and eggs
*Add almond flavoring
*Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
*Separate the dough into three different bowls.
*In the first bowl add neon pink food dye. In the second bowl add red food dye and leave the third bowl of dough plain.
*Chill the dough in the fridge until firm. 4-5 hours or overnight.
**FYI, this is a softer/sticker dough**
To get the swirl affect:
1. Roll out the neon pink dough on a floured silicone pad or wax paper. Cut the dough into a rectangle. Set aside on wax paper.
2. Roll out the plain colored dough on a floured silicone pad or wax paper. Cut the dough into the same size rectangle as the neon pink dough. Use the silicone pad/wax paper to place the plain colored dough exactly on top of the neon pink dough.
3. roll out the red colored dough on a floured silicone pad or wax paper. Cut the dough into the same size rectangle as the neon pink and plain colored dough. Use the silicone pad/wax paper to place the red dough exactly on top of the other two layers of dough.
4. Trim the sides so they are all even and then using the wax paper roll the dough up jelly roll style.
5. Place the dough in the freezer and let chill until firm. 4-5 hours.
6. Once the dough is firm slice the dough width wise into the thickness you desire.
7. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. For thicker cookie bake for 13-15 min
**DO NOT OVER BAKE. I take them out when the centers are barely cooked through. The cookie will not have brown edges.**
