Heart Cutout Sugar Cookies

Our first KitchenAid victim: the sugar cookie✨

My sister and I chose to bake something that very same day we got the mixer, and the most easiest but still delicious choice was the sugar cookie.

We got the recipe from a book called “The Great Cookie Book” by Nordic Ware (it came with a cookie tools set we bought a while ago).

We started by preheating the oven at 350 degrees.

Started with putting in 3/4 cups of shortening.

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1 cup of sugar

Two eggs, don’t mind my arm. My sister and I like to post on both of our Snapchat while we’re baking, so that’s why my arm is mid-center (she records with both phones at the same time LOL our Snapchat stories are always entertaining).

And the best part (in my opinion) add 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. If you’re still reading this far: why is there imitation vanilla? Pure vanilla extract is by far the best (along with vanilla Bean), why would someone want to miss out on that? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beat all of this together at medium speed.

Then in a serperate bowl, blend 2 1/2 cups of sifted flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

AND FINALLY THE PART WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR: MIX EVERYTHING TOGETHER. At medium speed.

Then:

After this, roll the dough out into 1/8 inch and use cookie cutters.

Put sprinkles before baking.

Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly brown and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Then you will end up with beautiful deliciousness.
