Cookies Ingredients:
- 200g Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
- 200g Sugar
- 360g All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Cloud Flavoring

Fillings Ingredients:
- 113g Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
- 210g Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Cloud Flavoring
- 1 tbsp Milk


Instructions:

  1. Cream the sugar and butter together in your mixer.
  2. Add your medium egg and 1 tsp of vanilla cloud flavoring and mix this through until combined.
  3. Slowly add in the flour a tablespoon at a time, giving the flour time to absorb the butter in the mixture. Mix until you have a dough that clings together.
  4. Remove 1/3 of the dough and add in Oil Based Food Color Hot Pink.
  5. Roll out the remaining uncolored dough to about 1/8” thick on top of parchment paper for easy movement.
  6. Roll out the pink dough to the same thickness as the uncolored dough.
  7. Place each rolled-out sheet of dough into the fridge to chill for about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 180C after the dough has chilled.
  9. Use the heart cutters to cut on the pink dough.
  10. Place the hearts all over the uncolored sheet of dough. Place parchment paper over this, then use a rolling pin to flatten the hearts into the uncolored dough.
  11. Use the heart cutter to cut out as many hearts as you can. You also need to cut a mini heart in the middle to make it have a hole to put on filling.
  12. Place them onto the baking mat then bake for 10-15 minutes.
  13. Let the cookies completely on a cooling rack before assembling.
  14. To make the filling, cream the butter. Slowly add in powdered sugar, vanilla cloud flavoring and milk. Beat until the buttercream is light and fluffy.
  15. Once the cookies are cooled, pipe the cream on the cookie, place the cookie that has a hole on top. Put on True Love Sprinkle Mix and Be Mine Sprinkle Mix! You can also spray Gold Edible Glitter on top to make them shine!
  16. Now, it’s time to create these adorable Valentine Sandwich Cookies and spread the love with your special ones!
