Ingredients
-
1 pkg My Better Batch Classic Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1 large egg
- 8 TBSP unsalted butter, softened
- Green food coloring
Directions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. To make cleaning up easier, line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
While the oven is preheating, combine 1 pkg Classic Sugar Cookie mix, 8 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and a few drops of green food coloring.
Use a stand or hand mixer on medium speed to combine the ingredients. If needed, add additional green food coloring until you achieve the perfect hue!
If you don’t have a mixer, you can mix the ingredients through hand kneading - however, wearing gloves is a good idea, otherwise you’ll end up with green stained fingers!
Once fully mixed, it’s time to create the individual cookies. Take 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and gently roll into a ball. Place each ball of dough on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 ½ inches apart to allow for spread.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies have set.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.While the cookies are still warm, take one heart shaped sprinkle and gently push it into the top of the cookie.
