Valentines Day Sugar Cookies

1 3/4 cups flour

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 Tablespoon of brown sugar

1.5 sticks of melted (unsalted ) butter

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup valentines day sprinkles

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste ( For the best flavor I prefer to use the Nielsen Massey Tahitian Vanilla extract)

Instructions:

1. Combine all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl and aside.

2. In the bowl with your melted butter add your vanilla, egg, and mix well

3. Once you have mixed your liquids together add them to your bowl with dry ingredients and mix until your dough forms. Once you have mixed your dough you can then add your sprinkles.

4. You will want to allow your dough to chill before rolling it into balls since it will be too soft. Let it chill in the fridge for about an hour and then roll it into balls. I usually do two tablespoons per cookie.

5. If you are baking them immediately allow them to chill in the fridge again for 45 minutes to an hour. You will then preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes.

6. If you decide to bake them later be sure to wrap them tightly and store them in the freezer for up to a few weeks.
