Ingredients

  1. 8 oz 1 stick


  3. YOLKS ONLY, no whites


  5. gel food colouring





Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a silicone mat).
  2. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl in the microwave, and then stir in the sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract and 3 drops of the green food coloring. Stir very well to combine. You can add extra green food coloring until the cookies are the green color you prefer.
  3. Next, sprinkle the flour, baking soda and salt evenly over the dough, and stir just to combine.
  4. Press the dough flat and evenly in the bowl, and then divide it in half by eye. You should get 6 cookies from each half, for a total of 12 cookies.
  5. Roll each dough ball in your hands, roll lightly extra granulated sugar, and then space evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until they spread, start to crackle and appear dry on top.
  6. Once you remove the cookies from the oven, quickly press a single red heart sprinkle into each cookie top. You must do this while the cookies are still warm so the sprinkle adheres! PHOTO
    Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
