🎶I'm a (seer)sucker for you!🎶 This weekend I made these sugar cookies and gave them a little Valentine's twist by making the dough seersucker print and using heart shaped cookie cutters.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Food coloring
Directions
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
**Here is where I split my dough in half and added some food coloring to one half**
Cover, and chill dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
**At this time I cut my dough in little strips. I then arranged them in alternating colors on a sheet and rolled over the dough to seal the seams.**
Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
I left mine plain but you could decorate these with your favorite icing and sprinkles ✨
