Valentine’s Day is just around the corner which means school parties and sweets for your sweetheart. If you’re in a baking mood, these Valentine’s Day sugar cookie hearts are the perfect way to celebrate. They use a super tasty sugar cookie recipe and since they’re sandwich cookies, they take the headache out of trying to figure out how to decorate Valentine’s Day cookies.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner which means school parties and sweets for your sweetheart.These Valentine's Day Sugar Cookie Hearts are the perfect treat! They're an easy to make, tasty and super adorable way to show your love!

These Valentine’s Day cookies use a simple sugar cookie recipe, but they would work with any cookie that is rolled and can be cut with a cookie cutter.

For this post, we used canned strawberry frosting, but a homemade buttercream or a simple vanilla creamfilling would taste amazing too!

If you’re going to be transporting your heart shaped sugar cookies, wrap each one in plastic wrap to be sure they don’t stick together.

Transport in an airtight food storage containerlike this one HERE so they don’t end up getting crushed. Since they include frosting in the middle, they should be transported a lot like a cupcake to be sure they get where they’re going safe and sound.

How to Save on Organic Groceries

When I first began to remove as many processed chemicals from our home, one of the first areas I began with was our food. These days, I love to eat organic foods and prefer organic household goods and supplies, but I absolutely hate the cost. If you’re like me, consider checking out Thrive Market right. You’ll get great prices on organic, gluten free, grain free and other groceries, household items, beauty products and more! Plus they have amazing prices on supplements too!

Can I make these with any sugar cookie recipe?

Yes! This sugar cookie recipe is just your typical cut sugar cookie recipe. If you have one you would rather use, go for it.

I know this is one of my favorite sugar cookie recipes so if you have a favorite you would rather use, it should be fine. Just make sure your recipe is for cut sugar cookies and no drop cookies.

You Will Need: 

  • 1 C. butter, softened
  • 1 C. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 C. all-purpose flour
  • strawberry frosting
  • Valentine sprinkles

Supplies Needed:

  • Mixer
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Flour Sifter
  • Rolling Pin
  • Piping Bag
  • Round Frosting Tip
  • Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Preheat the oven to 350° F and allow your butter and egg to come to room temperature. Make sure the butter does not get too warm and start melting.

Add the butter and granulated sugar to a medium mixing bowl and cream them together.

Next, add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until well combined. It will become a light yellow color with a grainy texture when it’s ready.

Once you’ve got the egg/butter mixture combined, use a flour sifter to sift the flour into the mixture one cup at a time then add the baking powder. 

The mixture will be stiff.

Divide the sugar cookie dough into 3 or 4 sections and use a rolling pin roll each section to about 1/4″ thick.

Check Out Amazon Pantry

One of the best ways I have found to save money on groceries is with Amazon Pantry. You can shop Prime Pantry without being a Prime member, but you’ll save so much more if you are! Not only do Prime members score FREE shipping, but they also get exclusive coupons, deals and more for Amazon Pantry.

Use the heart shaped cookie cutter to cut an even number of hearts from your dough. Make sure you have an even number or you won’t be able to make your sugar cookies into sandwich cookies.

Bake them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2″ apart for 7-9 minutes. Cool them on a wire cooling rack completely before moving onto the next step.

While your Valentine’s Day cookies are cooling, add the frosting and frosting tip to your piping bag. Once then cookies are cooled, pipe an outline of frosting around the edge of half your heart cookies.

Now place another heart sugar cookie on top of an iced half to form the sandwich cookie.

Repeat with the rest of the cookies you have.

When you’re adding the top of your sandwich cookie, be sure you don’t press too hard or you’ll take the chance of breaking the bottom cookie or sending the frosting squishing out the sides of the cookies.

How to Save on Organic Groceries

When I first began to remove as many processed chemicals from our home, one of the first areas I began with was our food.

Finally, pour the Valentine’s Day sprinkles into a small mixing bowl and lightly dip the sides of the cookies into the sprinkles to coat the sides.

Repeat until you have the entire side of the cookie coated.

Do this for each of your Valentine’s Day cookies.

You might have to put the sprinkles on by hand for the tops of the hearts if they won’t coat on their own. They’re a strange shape so it is sometimes hit or miss.
