Since I got my Kitchen Aid for my birthday, I am now looking for ways to start using it! I am going to have my preschooler help me make cookies. Here is a simple recipe from All Homemade Cookies:
Sweetheart Chippers
by All Homemade Cookies
Make a batch of these delicious heart-shaped cookies to share with your favorite Valentine.
These cookies are great for Valentine's Day, but you can make these cookies for any occasion simply by using various shaped cookie cutters.
To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 12 oz. bag M&Ms (or other candies for decoration)
Mix the powdered sugar, margarine, vanilla, almond extract and egg in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Preheat your oven to 375. Divide the dough into halves. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half about 3/16 inch thick. Use various heart-shaped cutters to cut out the cookies. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Cool completely and spread with your favorite glaze or frosting and then decorate with the candies. (For Valentines' Day, you can use the red M&Ms.)
Yields about 4 dozen 3-inch cookies.
If you live in altitudes above 3500 feet, bake the cookies 8 to 9 minutes.
