I found this recipe on the web and since I didn't have heart shaped cookie cutters that were small enough, I used this small undulated shaped. I didn't follow the details about the cookies being in the fridge ... but them in the freezer instead.... but for too long. So they were very hard to handle, but they turned out absolutely delicious!
Heart-Shaped Spice Cookies
(adapted from http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/heart-shaped-spice-cookies-10000001892164/)
Ingredients:
· 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
· 1 teaspoon ground ginger
· 1 teaspoon cinnamon
· 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
· 1 teaspoon baking powder
· 1/8 teaspoon salt
· 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
· 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and beat until mixture forms a stiff yet pliable dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. ( I added my sprinkles here). Bake until cookies are firm in center, about 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
