Soft Frosted Valentine Heart Cookies

My family loves soft cookies, and these cookies will be an easy treat to bake for Valentine’s Day. I don’t care to roll out and cut cookie dough either.

Soft Frosted Valentine Heart Cookies

These easy cookies are soft, chewy, dense, made in one bowl, and you don’t have to roll them out. Rather than making cookie dough, I used my trusty blondie base, baked the dough off in a pan, and used heart-shaped cutters to cut out cookies. If you don’t want to make frosting, use storebought and then this becomes a no-mixer recipe as well. The sprinkles are both baked into the cookies and on top.

INGREDIENTS:
Cookies

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 cup sprinkles (I used a combination of these and these)

Frosting

• one tub storebought whipped fluffy white frosting
• OR
• 1/4 cup (half of 1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• about 2 to 2 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 to 3 teaspoons cream or milk
• sprinkles, for decorating (I used a combination of these and these)
