MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BUTTERCREAM ICED VALENTINE’S COOKIES
From: Diane Roark @ recipesforourdailybread.com/
These Valentine’s Cookies are made with four ingredients which are butter, sugar, flour, and cornstarch. These cookies melt in your month. The buttercream is colored with Jello which makes it incredibly tasty.
Makes: 24 cookies
Ingredients
COOKIE
1 cup Butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 cup corn starch, sifted
3/4 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
ICING – MAKES 2-1/4 cups frosting
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Two tablespoons milk plus one teaspoon milk
COLORING ICING
For each 1/2 cup icing, you are coloring
ADD 2 tablespoons Jello powder – for green use Lime Jello, red use strawberry jello, and yellow use lemon jello
Two teaspoons Hot water
Two tablespoons PLUS 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
Use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer to combine all the ingredients.
The recipe says to drop the cookies by teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
I used a teaspoon size ice cream scoop and dropped them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes or until slightly tan around the edges. Do not over cook them.
ICING
Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla and enough milk (2 tablespoons milk plus one teaspoon milk) to be able to spread the frosting on the cookies.
COLORING ICING
Divide the frosting into 2 bowls.
ADD 2 tablespoons Jello powder with the two teaspoons hot water until powder is dissolved.
Add half of one of the bowls of icing into the Jello color and mix well.
Next, insert the other half of the frosting.
Continue doing this for each bowl.
If using a different color or you want a different shade of the same color.
