Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream to the mix.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine the dry mix and wet mix and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overtax.

  3. Cover the dough and chill at least 3 hours.

  4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

  5. Lightly flour a surface and then roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and place cookie cutouts 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. If you’re using colored sugar, sprinkle before baking.

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Recipe Notes

Note: If you want chewier cookies, only bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will set as they cool.
