Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or whisk.
- Add the large egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
- Add red food coloring a pinch at a time and knead lightly until the dough is evenly colored.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the chilled dough to about 0.5 cm thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Chill the dough well to make cutting easier and prevent spreading during baking.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and tender.
