A beautiful way to spend Valentine’s Day is by making treats for your friends or partners.

Before baking, you must:
Prep your oven to 360° before putting your cookies in. Prep your baking tray with either non-stick cooking spray, or a baking sheet. This will help your cookies bake without sticking to your baking tray.

To make the dough, we first need to:
Mix together butter, flour, and sugar until you get your dough-like consistency. Make sure that all the ingredients are well mixed.

To shape your cookies:
Form a dough ball to your liking (NOTE: the dough ball will expand as it bakes) then roll the dough ball in sugar. Flatten it with the bottom of a cup. For an additional step, you could use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to add some extra details.

While baking:
Bake your cookies for around 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are a slight golden brown. To make sure that your cookies are thoroughly evenly baked, stick a toothpick straight through and if there is no dough residue left on your toothpick, then you can take it out of the oven.

Before eating:
Make sure the cookies cool down for a good 5-10 minutes. If you’d like to personalize your cookies more, you could frost them or add sprinkles. Once you’re done waiting or personalizing, you’re done!

Enjoy this cookie recipe with your friends or lovers, or even by yourself!
