Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pink gel food coloring

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

2. Tint the Dough:

1. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
2. Leave one half plain (vanilla) and add a few drops of pink gel food coloring to the other half. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.

3. Chill the Dough:

1. Wrap each dough portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll out.

4. Roll Out and Cut:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
3. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from both the pink and vanilla doughs.

5. Create Two-Tone Hearts:

1. Use a knife to cut each heart cookie in half vertically.
2. Pair one pink half with one vanilla half, pressing the seams gently to form a two-tone heart.

6. Bake:

1. Transfer the assembled cookies to the prepared baking sheets.
2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
3. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

With their unique two-tone design, they’re an eye-catching treat that’s sure to make your Valentine’s Day celebrations even more special.
