Heart Shaped Cookies
 This is a great cut-out recipe if you want to make a large batch of cookies. You will find two different measurements listed. Both of them will give you many dozens of cookies, but if you want to make a very large of batch of cookies, follow the second set. You can easily adapt it for any occasion simply by using different cookie cutters. You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to tint the dough.
Ingredients
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 lbs. butter
• 6 eggs
• 6 tsp. baking powder
• 8 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
or
• 4 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 lbs. butter
• 9 eggs
• 9 tsp. baking powder
• 12 cups flour
• 2 tsp. vanilla
Directions
Cream the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until creamy. Mix together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture a little at a time. Mix into a dough ball. Dough will roll out better when it is refrigerated for a few hours.
Preheat oven to 350. Roll out portions of the dough on a floured surface to about an 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into heart shapes Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 10-15 minutes or until done.
You can decorate these cookies with candy sprinkles, tinted sugar, crushed candy canes, glazing or whatever else you desire.
To make glaze icing, mix together a box of confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and enough lemon juice to make the glaze a smooth consistency.
