3/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (no substitutes)

*Cream Cheese Icing *

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon margarine, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 pound powdered sugar

directions

Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until fine. Gently work into a soft dough. Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Cut using a 2- or 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place hearts onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-9 minutes. Let cookies rest on baking sheet until cooled slightly before removing to cooling rack. Frost centers of cookies with cream cheese icing.

For Cream Cheese Icing: Mix together cream cheese, margarine, milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in powdered sugar. Add more milk if needed to make a creamy spreading consistency.

Stir in pink food coloring until a pale pink icing is created. Frost centers of melt-away cookies.

  1. sammie7 REVIEW:

    One of the best sugar cookie recipes ever! I've made this multiple times & everyone loves them! The dough is a little delicate so stick with basic shapes when cutting them out (like the heart, circles, etc.) but it is well worth it! They are not dry at all and have a wonderful flavor! don't skip the icing though.. it makes the cookie! :)
