Mom's Valentines Sugar Cookies

Mom has made these cookies for years and passed down the recipe to me this last year.  I started at halloween, but they make cookie cutters for almost every holiday. These pink Valentines Day cookies were the original sugar cookie in our house growing up :) 

Recipe:
-1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
-1 cup butter melted
-1 egg
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon almond extract
-2 1/4 cups of flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Frosting:

-1 cup powdered sugar
-2 tablepoons milk
-2 tablespoons corn syrup
-Food coloring for desired color/s

 


Mix all of wet ingredients for cookies in bowl of mixer.  Add in powdered sugar, flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix until dough forms.  Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough out onto counter and cut desired shapes into the dough.  Transfer onto baking sheets and bake for 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Let cookies cool on cooling racks.  Once completely cool, mix ingredients for frosting in a small mixing bowl.  Frost each cookie with a spatula and sprinkle with sprinkles!
