Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 container (12 oz) whipped fluffy white frosting
- Red food color
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, all-purpose flour, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. - Roll and Cut Cookies:
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Re-roll the scraps as needed. Roll each cut-out cookie in granulated sugar, ensuring a light, even coating. - Bake the Cookies:
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. - Prepare the Frosting:
In a small bowl, mix the whipped fluffy white frosting with a few drops of red food color to achieve your desired pink shade. - Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:
Spread about 1 teaspoon of pink frosting onto the bottom (flat side) of one cooled cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, pressing gently to create a sandwich. - Repeat:
Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and frosting.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of food coloring in the frosting to achieve the perfect shade of pink.
- Store the finished sandwich cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
