Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Corn strach flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup Unsweetened butter softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp Pink food coloring
  • 1/3 cup sugar mixed with pink food coloring

Instructions
 

  • We need two equal portions of the dough so divide the ingredients into two. Th easiest way would be mix the dry ingredients; flour, corn starch and salt and divide into two.
  • Start mixing the first half of the wet ingredients. Add 1/2 cup softened butter, sugar and beat with a hand mixer until the butter is combined well. Add one egg and vanilla extract and combine.
  • Slowly add half of the flour mixture and combine until it becomes a dough.
  • Roll the dough between two baking sheet to a 1/4 thickness and refrigerate for 20 minutes as you make the second dough.
  • For the Pink dough, repeat the above steps but add the pink food coloring to the butter and sugar mixture. Put a little more than you think because the pink color will tone down once the flour is added.
  • Roll out the dough and spread the sugar mixture mixed with pink food coloring. The sugar should stick to the dough. Refrigerate this pink dough.
  • Once the dough has rested, use a ruler and a knife to cut out 1/2 inch stripes. Return them to the fridge as you cut the pink dough.
  • Once you have all your stripes, Layer the pink and the plain stripes so that they touch.
  • Cover the lined stripes with a baking paper then roll to make sure they seal . Return to the fridge for the last time for about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and start cutting out cookies with a heart shaped cookie cutter.
  • Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely then enjoy!
