SUGAR COOKIE INGREDIENTS
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
2 large eggs
pink food coloring
ROYAL ICING INGREDIENTS
4 cups powdered sugar
6-7 tbsp water
1/4 cup meringue powder
1 tsp vanilla
PINK VELVET SUGAR COOKIES
Place the butter, sugar, vanilla, and food coloring into a large bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time and beat on low until well incorporated.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until well combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and cut out heart shapes. Bake in the oven at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
ROYAL ICING
Place all ingredients into a large bowl and beat until stiff peaks have formed- about 10 minutes with a hand mixer or 6 minutes with a stand mixer.
(Add extra water to reach a dipping consistency)
Transfer the icing to a smaller bowl and swirl a small amount of red food coloring into it.
Dip each cookie into the bowl of icing and allow the excess to drip off before transferring to a parchment sheet to dry.
If you want, add a few specks of gold luster dust and edible glitter.
