Recipe for heart shaped cookies. Cookies “Hearts” with icing for Valentine's Day. Step-by-step recipe: homemade Heart cookies

For your loved ones on Valentine's Day on February 14 or just like that - beautiful, bright and very tasty heart-shaped cookies!

1 tbsp. flour (about 130 g);
100 g butter (i.e. half a stick);
1 tbsp. Sahara.

Decoration:

50 g chocolate (half a bar);
1-2 tbsp. butter;
Nuts;
Confectionery sprinkles.

Prepare the shortbread dough: sift the flour into a bowl, add sugar and softened butter, cut into pieces.

Grind the ingredients with your hands. First you will get crumbs. Continue kneading the dough and the crumbs will stick together into one lump. If the dough crumbles, add a little soft butter. If, on the contrary, it sticks to your hands, add a little flour. The finished dough is soft, does not crumble, but does not stick. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. In the meantime, you can crack and peel the nuts for decoration. It will be delicious with any: walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or cashews.

After taking the dough out of the refrigerator, lightly sprinkle the counter and baking sheet with flour. Roll out the dough into a cake from 0.5 to 1 cm thick. Thin cookies bake faster and turn out crispier, while thicker ones will take a little longer to bake, but will be more crumbly.

We cut out cookies from the dough with a heart-shaped cutter and carefully, since the cookies are very delicate, transfer them to a baking sheet. While you are making cookies, turn on the oven and let it warm up to 200C.

At this point, you can sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon sugar or vanilla if you don't want to make a chocolate frosting. You need to mix 1.5-2 tbsp in a saucer. sugar and ¼ tsp. cinnamon (or 1 tsp vanilla sugar), or sugar with chopped nuts, sprinkle each cookie and lightly press the sprinkles with your finger so as not to crumble. If you glaze cookies with chocolate, bake them just like that.

Bake cookies at 200-210C for 20-25 minutes, taking into account the characteristics of your oven. The cookies should become dry, crumbly and slightly golden, but remain light in color. If the cookies are brown, it means they were overbaked a little. But that’s okay, now we’ll prepare the icing and sprinkles for decoration!

Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a water bath. When it melts, add a piece of soft butter (15-25g) and mix. The butter will melt to create a smooth chocolate frosting. Dip the cooled cookies into it with the top side - or apply the glaze with a teaspoon.

If the glaze is too thick, add a little more butter into the chocolate; if liquid, you can bring it to the desired consistency by adding cocoa powder.

Before the icing has time to harden, sprinkle the “Hearts” cookies for Valentine’s Day with chopped nuts and colored confectionery sprinkles. To make the glaze harden faster, place the cookies in the refrigerator. And when the decoration “sets”, carefully transfer the heart cookies to a plate.

Recipe 2: shortbread hearts with jam for February 14

The beauty of this recipe is that you can prepare it both for a tasty treat and for a pleasant gift on February 14th - after all, it is heart-shaped, and if you choose a beautiful packaging or festive box and put our sweet Valentines in it, it will be a wonderful holiday surprise for all those with a sweet tooth!

270 g flour
150 g butter (margarine)
100 g powdered sugar (sugar)
2 yolks
zest of half a lemon (orange)
1 tsp vanilla sugar (vanillin on the tip of a knife)
pinch of salt (1/3 tsp)
thick jam (jam)
powdered sugar (for sprinkling finished cookies)

Place the softened butter (or margarine) in a bowl. Add sugar (or powdered sugar) with vanilla, and grind everything thoroughly.

Grate the zest of half a lemon on a fine grater.

Add the yolks and grind everything thoroughly. Add 250 g in two doses. flour, and the remaining 20 gr. pour it onto the table under the dough. Knead a soft plastic dough, try not to add more flour - to avoid excessive hardness.

The photo shows how soft and pliable the dough is. Great! Now wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

We will roll out the dough using this interesting method - between two sheets of parchment paper. Since the dough is very tender, we don’t need extra flour at all. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 4-5 mm. This is the thickness that will allow the cookies to remain soft and not too thick.

Remove the top parchment. We take a mold in the shape of a large heart and begin to form our sweet valentines right on the sheet. Let's put the dough that remains into action again: gather it into a ball, roll it out and make a few more hearts.

Now take a smaller heart shape and cut out things like this. At the same time, we also form a bunch of small hearts.

Place the dough in a hot oven at 180 degrees. For 7-10 minutes, but you need to monitor readiness - the cookies should remain soft, not overdried, and light.

Sprinkle our hearts with a recess with powdered sugar.

Place a spoonful of thick jam on whole large heart-cookies - in the very middle. Glue the top part sprinkled with powder on top. It turns out to be a two-layer valentine with a beautiful colored center and snow-white sprinkling. If you take jam of different colors, you will have an even more beautiful dish. Although to me everything looks quite charming and appetizing!

Recipe 3: Honey Valentines with Frosting (step by step)

Home » Baking » Various baked goods Honey cookies “Valentines” with icing 02/5/2017 Not a single store-bought cookie can compare with homemade ones. Especially if it is prepared with the addition of honey and sour cream. And if you cut it out in the shape of a heart and cover it with beautiful icing, then these cookies can become a sweet gift for Valentine's Day. The recipe with photo will help you knead the dough for Valentines, as well as properly prepare smooth glaze for decoration.

chicken yolk - 1 pc.;
butter - 80 gr.;
granulated sugar - 100 gr.;
sour cream - 80 gr.;
honey - 1 tbsp. l.;
flour - 1 glass;
baking powder - ½ tsp;
vanillin - a pinch;
salt - a pinch.

For the glaze:

chicken protein - 1 pc.;
powdered sugar - 150 gr.;
citric acid - 1/5 tsp;
red food coloring.

First, we prepare all the necessary products.

Add sugar to the yolk and whisk well. The sugar should completely dissolve in the yolk.

Then add slightly warmed honey and add vanillin. Mix.

Also add room temperature butter. Mix everything well until smooth.

Now add baking powder and sifted wheat flour.

Knead a soft, elastic, tender dough. If there is not enough flour, you can add a little more; the cookie dough should not be liquid.

Roll it into a ball, wrap it in cling film, or simply put the bag in and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Valentine cookies for Valentine's Day should be bright, colorful, and beautiful. Glaze will help us decorate our baked goods the way we want them. To prepare it, take 150 grams of powdered sugar and egg white.

Mix them and beat with a mixer. You will have to beat for 6-8 minutes.

At the end of whipping, for about one minute, add citric acid at the tip of a knife. The result should be a smooth, glossy mass.

Divide the glaze into two unequal parts. You can divide it into equal parts, it all depends on how you decorate your cookies.

We add dye to most of the glaze (in my case, raspberry), you can take any other at your discretion.

Mix the glaze and dye well. The glaze is ready, put it aside for now, just be sure to cover with cling film. The glaze dries very, very quickly.

Meanwhile, the dough has cooled, take it out of the refrigerator. For ease of rolling, we divide it into several parts. Then we roll each part into a layer 0.5 cm thick.

Now use special heart-shaped cutters to cut out the cookies.

Place the valentines on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. And send it to bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Our baked goods are ready. We take it out of the oven and cool it.

Then you can decorate the cookies however you want. The icing is applied first along the outline of the cookie, and then filled in the middle. Further decoration will be dictated by your imagination. Bon appetit!

Recipe 4: heart cookies in a waffle iron (with photo)

Premium wheat flour 250 gr.
Chicken eggs 6 pcs.
Margarine for baking 125 gr.
Sugar 125 gr.
Vanillin 1 sachet
Milk (3.5%) 250 ml.
Baking powder to taste

Cookies can be made soft or crispy, it all depends on how long you bake them in the waffle iron. But before you start preparing them, you need to knead the dough. In its consistency it should resemble liquid sour cream.

So, we separate the whites of the eggs from the yolks. In a shallow bowl, grind randomly chopped margarine with sugar and vanilla using a fork, then take a mixer and beat the mass into a fluffy foam. Then, without ceasing to beat, add one yolk to the bowl.

Next, pour in the milk, beating with a mixer at low speed.

In another bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, and begin to gradually pour into the butter-milk mixture, continuing to whisk. And the final touch: beat the whites into a foam and carefully fold them into the dough, after which we let it brew within half an hour in a warm place.

Plug in the waffle iron and heat it to medium temperature. Then put about two tablespoons of dough into it and distribute it evenly over the surface. Close and hold for about 40-60 seconds. This will give us soft cookies.

Then carefully remove the finished cookies using a fork or spatula and let them cool.

Recipe 5: heart-shaped cookies on gas

chicken eggs - 4-5 pcs;
margarine for baking - 100 g;
vanilla sugar - a bag;
granulated sugar - 1 cup;
salt - a pinch;
baking soda - 1 teaspoon;
wheat flour - 8-9 tbsp. spoons

We take a bowl in which we will knead the dough, break 4-5 eggs.

Add a packet of vanilla sugar, as little as possible.

Melt a pack of margarine in the microwave or on the stove, I didn’t have a full pack of margarine, so I melted as much as I had and pour it into the eggs too.

Then beat everything with a mixer at first speed. Just beat until smooth, so that everything is mixed and dissolved (sugar, soda).

Now add two tablespoons of flour to the contents and beat at first speed.

About 8-9 tablespoons are enough for the dough; the dough should not be liquid but also very thick.

It should come away from the spoon slowly (make the dough thicker than for shortbread). Now that the dough is ready, turn on the stove, grease the mold on both sides with vegetable oil, put it on the fire and heat it up.

After the mold has heated up on both sides, we begin to fry our cookies, pour out an incomplete ladle of dough, approximately this amount

and close the mold, leave it for literally 1-2 minutes, turn the mold over and check whether it is baked or not.

If it's baked, leave the pan upside down so that the other side is baked.

Recipe 6, step by step: homemade Heart cookies

Today I want to offer a simple baking option that will fit perfectly on the festive table on February 14th. We will bake heart cookies, for which we will need special molds.

sour cream – about 200 g;
butter – 100 g;
sugar – 1 full glass;
dark chocolate – 50-100 g;
eggs – 1 pc.;
flour – 400-450 g;
vanillin – 1 sachet;
colored sugar pencils;
baking powder - 1.5 tbsp. spoons.

Let's get started. Beat one egg with sugar.

Mix softened (not melted) butter with sour cream and add to the egg-sugar mixture. Beat everything together with a whisk (or mixer).

Add flour mixed with baking powder and knead the dough. Add vanillin. The dough should not be too tight, so when adding flour gradually, be guided by its amount as you knead. Place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

When the dough has cooled a little, take it out and roll out a layer about 7-8 mm thick. We cut out our cookies using special heart-shaped shapes. I used fairly large molds (8 cm wide).

Grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of vegetable oil and place cookies on it. Place it in a preheated oven (180 degrees). Bake until it turns a nice light brown color.

Let the finished cookies cool and spread melted chocolate on their surface. You can make chocolate glaze by adding a little butter to the chocolate while heating (in a water bath). But, you need to take into account that it will not harden completely on the surface of the cookies.

You can decorate hearts in different ways. Let's say you apply chocolate to only one half of it, as in my photo.

You can write messages on the hearts, such as names or holiday wishes. As a last resort, just sprinkle them with powdered sugar! I used special colored sugar pencils to decorate the cookies.

Recipe 10: Valentine cookies Hearts in glaze

You need a lot of ingredients for the dough, but they are all available. Plus, one serving makes quite a lot of cookies. One of the most important components is potato starch, which makes it possible to make baked goods more crumbly and tender. Everything is prepared quickly, in a hurry, and can be stored for a long time if not eaten immediately.

flour - 3 tbsp.
butter – 150 g
potato starch – 125 g
salt - a pinch.
soda – ½ tsp.
baking powder – ½ tsp.
sugar – 1 glass
milk – 2/3 cup
egg – 1 pc.
vanilla sugar – 1 sachet

for glaze:

powdered sugar - about 200 g
lemon juice
food coloring.

Butter should be at room temperature. Then it can be easily whipped. Place it in a bowl and beat with a mixer. But you can just mash it with a fork. Add sugar, vanilla sugar and grind (or beat) everything together until smooth.

Add one egg.

Mix thoroughly.

Sift the entire portion of flour into a separate bowl, add baking powder, soda, salt, and starch (sifted).

Pour half of the dry mixture into the butter mixture. Mix.

Pour in milk.

And add the rest of the dry mixture.

Knead the dough and form a ball. We wrap it in film. Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.

Take out the chilled dough and roll it out into a layer 0.3-0.5 cm thick. Please note that the cookies will grow well in the oven. Therefore, we make it thinner. Squeeze out the hearts using molds.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place in a preheated oven. Bake cookies at home at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Take the rosy hearts out of the oven. Let them cool. And we send off the next batch to bake. I made almost four batches from one batch of dough.

Let's prepare the icing for the cookies. Sift the powdered sugar into a deep plate. Pour 3-4 tbsp into a separate cup. lemon juice or citric acid diluted in water. There's food coloring in there too. And gradually mix.

You need to add liquid until you get the consistency of liquid sour cream. Here it is important to catch the moment so that the glaze is not thick, but not too liquid.

We cover our homemade heart cookies with the resulting fondant and let them dry on parchment or on a wire rack. Excess glaze may drip off. If desired, you can decorate the cookies with sprinkles by sprinkling them onto the icing that has not yet hardened.

Step-by-step recipe: homemade Heart cookies

Vanilhyartan literally means vanilla hearts. Very popular in Sweden, these baked goods are a delicious vanilla pudding encased in a soft, crumbly dough shaped into a heart shape. Heart shaped molds will be required for production. These hearts are also popular in Denmark, where they are called "linser" - small hearts with pudding. The combination of shortbread and pudding taste will win you over!

If you don't have molds, use regular round muffin tins.

Ingredients for 15 pieces:

200 g butter, cold and cut into cubes
80 g powdered sugar
a pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
270 g wheat flour
40 g potato starch

Mix wheat flour and potato starch and sift, add butter and quickly cut the dough with a knife until it looks like crumbs.
Add sugar, salt, yolk and knead very quickly (you can also mix the dough in a blender).
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in food foil, and chill in the refrigerator for about 60 minutes.

Vanilla pudding or custard (recipe No. 1)

2 cups (500 ml) milk
2/3 cup wheat flour
2 large eggs
160 g sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla paste, vanilla extract or grain 1 vanilla pod or 16 grams vanilla sugar

Place 1 cup milk and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Blend the remaining cup (using a blender until combined) with the eggs, wheat flour and vanilla.
Mix this mixture with boiling milk, stirring vigorously, and cook until a very thick pudding is obtained.
Boil, stirring, for 2 minutes until the cream begins to bubble slightly, remove from heat and transfer to a container.
Cover with cling film so that the film touches the surface of the pudding and leave the cream to cool.

Note: There will be too much pudding, but if you bake the cookies in classic shortbread tins, you'll use more of it. Besides...extra pudding is never a problem...

You can also try a different pudding recipe (which contains only starch).

Vanilla pudding or custard (recipe No. 2, with starch)

200 ml milk
50 ml cream 30% or 36%
1 teaspoon vanilla paste, vanilla extract or grain of half a vanilla pod or 8 grams vanilla sugar
3 egg yolks (from large eggs)
60 g sugar
15 g potato starch
10 g butter

In a small saucepan, boil milk and heavy cream with vanilla.
Bring to a boil and set aside immediately.
Place the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and mash until pale.
Add potato starch and continue stirring until smooth.
Add 100 ml of boiling milk to the resulting mixture and stir with a spatula.
Pour the resulting mass into the remaining hot milk, stir well to combine.
Place on a burner (medium power) and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spatula.
From the point of boiling, cook for about 1 minute, stirring until the cream pudding thickens.
Remove from heat.
Add the butter and stir it into the hot pudding.
Cover the finished cream with contact film and let it cool (do not stir it while cooling).
The finished cream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This pudding may be too little for 15 pieces of hearts; it is best to make 1.5 servings of this cream at once.

Preparing cookies:

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out onto a board to a thickness of 2 - 3 mm, carefully sprinkling it with flour.
Cut out the heart from the dough (with cookie cutters) and place in your molds.
Place the pudding in a pastry sleeve and pipe the pudding filling into the center of the cookie.
Cover the pudding with another heart cut from shortcrust pastry, carefully sealing the edges of the shortbread so that the pudding does not leak during baking.
Carefully prick the dough with skewers in several places to prevent it from rising during baking.
Bake at 200ºC hot air for 13 - 15 minutes or until the cookies are crispy.
Cool.
Note: warm cookies are very brittle!
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Bon appetit!

Heart-shaped shortbread cookies: recipe

Delicious cocoa cookies decorated with colored icing. The cookies can also be made in a traditional vanilla version. They are very creamy, but I wouldn't substitute margarine for butter because of both its wonderful buttery taste and smell. Do you love playing with frosting and looking for decorating inspiration? You will find inspiration here. I recommend.

Ingredients:

2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
170 g butter at room temperature
3/4 - 1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer and cream until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, add vanilla extract, add salt and continue beating.
Add flour mixed with cocoa. Knead into a smooth mass.
Wrap the finished dough in film and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
After this time, take out the dough, roll it out to a thickness of about 3 mm, occasionally sprinkling with flour. Cut the dough into heart shapes. Place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper at small intervals.
Bake at 180ºC for 12 - 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Cool on grill racks.
Decorate with royal icing.

In the vanilla version, cocoa should be replaced with wheat flour and grains from 1 vanilla pod should be added.

Meringue Valentine's Cookies

For people who don’t have time to bother with cookies, this is the fastest and easiest option. Meringues are so versatile that you can create shapes for almost any occasion. Meringues are dried at a lower temperature and they remain snow-white longer. Result? Great! Everyone smiled at them to my hearts.

Ingredients:

4 large squirrels (1 squirrel weighs about 40 g)
a pinch of salt
240 grams fine granulated sugar
red food gel coloring

All ingredients should be at room temperature.

Place the whites in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and then beat on high speed. Add sugar gradually, spoon by spoon (this is very important), whisking all the time.
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Prepare a pastry sleeve.
Make several stripes on the inside of the sleeve using gel dye.
Place the dense meringue mixture into a round cup sleeve (1cm wide) and press the small sausages into heart shapes, leaving some gaps between them.
Dry at 90ºC for 60 - 90 minutes (or longer depending on your oven), checking occasionally to see if they are done. The finished meringues will be crispy on the surface.

Original and tasty!

Chocolate gingerbread hearts, honey valentines

Delicious chocolate gingerbread cookies - you no longer need frosting to enjoy the taste of chocolate in your gingerbread cookies! You can bake them now and keep them in a tin until Valentine's Day. They may be firm after baking, but will soften when exposed to moisture (mine were soft the next day).

Ingredients:

3 and 1/3 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2.5 tablespoons of gingerbread spices (preferably homemade)
a pinch of salt
zest of 1 orange
180 g butter
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses (golden syrup or runny honey)
55g dark chocolate, broken into pieces

Wheat flour, cocoa, powdered sugar, baking soda, spices and salt - mix and sift.
Place the butter, molasses and chocolate in a saucepan. Heat, stirring, dissolve and mix the ingredients. Set aside to cool; mixture may remain slightly warm.
Beat the egg into the sifted dry ingredients, add the dissolved, slightly warm mixture, orange zest and beat.
Transfer the resulting mass (may be sticky at this stage) into a container, wrap tightly with cling film and refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours (or longer). Staying in the refrigerator should make the mass concentrated and it will not stick to your hands.
Once the dough has cooled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out to a thickness of about 3mm or more. Cut out cookies into heart shapes.
Bake at 180ºC for 10 - 12 minutes (maybe a little longer). Cool on grill rack.
Once baked and completely cooled, decorate the gingerbread cookies.

How to make gingerbread soft?

Gingerbread cookies are usually very hard after baking (this is due to the addition of honey or molasses). To soften, they need to absorb an appropriate dose of moisture, for example from the air or fruit. Then they melt in your mouth! Place the gingerbread cookies in a container and add the apple pieces there too. Or place the gingerbread cookies in a room with high humidity and within a day the gingerbread cookies will become soft and melt in your mouth. Apples should be peeled and replaced as needed.

Happy Valentines Day!

Heart-shaped cookies can be prepared according to any recipe, simply giving the necessary shape. But there are also recipes that are ideal for this option. Below are different recipes, both for baking in the oven and using a waffle iron. However, they are equally tasty and do not require much time or effort.

What are heart-shaped cookies good for?

The most common use for Heart cookies is to decorate a holiday table. It can be used both at a wedding and its anniversary. Also, thanks to this shape, cookies can become a decoration for Valentine's Day, since this particular holiday is associated with hearts.

The second option would be a gift for a loved one. “Heart” cookies, especially if decorated with icing or beautiful sprinkles, can be an addition to any gift. Of course, it needs to look beautiful. However, even the fact that it is made with love can turn this delicacy into something special.

And the third option is associated with a device such as a waffle iron. It’s no secret that “Heart” cookies have been made in a waffle iron since Soviet times. Many people have an old form in which they had to cook on gas. Now there are electric molds and waffle irons on sale, thanks to them the fashion for this pastry has revived again. However, many people successfully use old forms, which does not make the taste of the baked goods worse.

Chocolate cookies for Valentine's Day. Ingredients

To make Heart cookies, you will need a special mold that allows you to cut out figures from the dough. You can buy it at a kitchenware store.

For the test you will need:

200 grams of butter, first warm it at room temperature for thirty minutes;
zest of one lemon;
450 grams of flour, preferably wheat;
3 medium-sized chicken eggs;
100 grams of granulated sugar.

For the glaze you need one hundred grams of white and dark chocolate without any additives. You can also choose a dairy option.

Chocolate cookies: preparation

Pre-seasoned butter must be kneaded. Then beat it with a mixer at medium speed. Without ceasing to stir, add lemon zest to the oil, beat in the eggs one at a time.

After the mass becomes homogeneous, you can add granulated sugar and then flour. If you pour it in a little at a time, you can quickly get rid of lumps and get a homogeneous mass. In the end, the mixer may no longer be necessary, since the stiff dough can be kneaded by hand. The finished product should be placed in the refrigerator for thirty minutes to cool.

After the Heart cookie dough has cooled, you need to roll it out. Use a mold to cut out hearts. They are placed on a baking sheet greased with oil. Cookies should be baked at a temperature of one hundred and fifty degrees until it turns golden brown.

When the cookies are ready, dip them in chocolate. Previously, white and black are melted separately in a water bath. That is, a row of cookies turns white, and a row turns black. If desired, the finished delicacy can be rolled in coconut flakes. To allow the glaze to harden, place the cookies in the refrigerator.

Shortbread. Recipe

You can also make shortbread cookies in the shape of a heart. For it you need:

200 grams of butter;
2 cups wheat flour;
a glass of powdered sugar;
two tablespoons of vanilla sugar (can be replaced with vanilla);
one egg;
a pinch of salt;
zest of half an orange.

According to this recipe, the photos of “Hearts” cookies look quite appetizing. To do this, after preparing the main product, it is better to take care of decorating the cookies.

First of all, pour in flour and powdered sugar, thoroughly mixing these two ingredients together. Salt, vanilla sugar and orange zest are also added here. The mixture is laid out on a board, a hole is made in it, where the egg is broken. The butter is cut into pieces and placed around the edges. Using a knife, chop and mix the mixture. The result is dough that should not stick to your hands or knife. If this does not happen, you can add flour.

The finished dough is divided into small balls, each of which is covered with a clean napkin and left in the cold for one hour. This will help the butter “set” the dough.

Shortbread. Preparation

Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto the board. They sprinkle it on the rolling pin. The first ball is rolled out to a thickness of two to three centimeters. If you want the cookies to look like gingerbread, then add up to five centimeters in thickness. A thinner treat will have a crunchier feel.

Then the cookies are cut out with a special heart-shaped shape. You can also try to cut out the desired outline with a knife yourself. You can put a little flour on a baking sheet. There is no need to lubricate it with oil, since there is already enough of it in the dough.

The top of the cookies is brushed with egg white. It cooks quickly, at a temperature of 220 degrees. Once the batch is browned, it is removed.

Cookies "Hearts" in the form. Recipe with photo

To prepare these cookies, you can use either a modern electric waffle iron or an old version that was inherited from relatives. It turns out equally delicious.

It requires:

3.5 cups flour;
4 teaspoons baking powder;
six medium-sized eggs;
200 grams of margarine;
1.5 cups granulated sugar.

Also, when baking the first batch of cookies, you may need vegetable oil to grease the mold.

Cookies in shape. Preparation

The recipe for “Heart” cookies in a waffle tin is quite simple. The eggs are beaten into a deep bowl, and granulated sugar is added to them. Beat the resulting mixture with a mixer until foam forms. The margarine is grated immediately from the refrigerator and added to the resulting mixture.

Flour and baking powder are thoroughly mixed in a separate bowl, and then, without ceasing to stir, add little by little into the liquid. The consistency of the dough becomes similar to curd mass.

The finished dough is laid out on a heated form. The first batch may turn out uneven, but later it becomes clear how much dough you need to put in to make the cookies complete. They bake for about three minutes, depending on the power of the waffle iron. The option in which cooking takes place on the stove assumes that the mold will be turned over.

Heart-shaped cookies are a delicious dessert. It can be beautifully decorated and presented as a nice gift to a loved one. Thanks to its beautiful shape and decoration, this delicacy will become a table decoration. It’s also delicious to eat with strong tea or coffee.
