Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir the dry ingredients - flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add Country Crock Plant Butter and sugar and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes on medium high speed.
- Whisk in egg and vanilla extract, until combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Separate 1/3rd of the dough in a bowl and set aside the remaining dough. Add edible red food color to the 1/3rd of dough, and knead well until the color of dough is uniform.
- Roll the red dough about 1/2 inch thick and cut out heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Stack all hearts into a log. Roll the remaining red dough again to repeat this process to make as many hearts as possible. Wrap heart shaped dough log with cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll the remaining dough into thin long strips that are not too thick.
- Take out the heart log from the refrigerator and cover it up with regular dough strips from all sides to make a log.
- Roll this log onto a tray sprinkled with flour, cover with cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Slice the log into ½ inch thick slices and place onto the prepared lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch gaps between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are barely golden brown from the bottom. Remove from the oven and cool for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
- Serve and enjoy once cookies are completely cool.
