Time 1h25m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
7 drops green food coloring
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
candy hearts, as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Cream butter and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Beat in egg, vanilla, and food coloring. Gradually stir in the flour mixture.
  • Scoop dough with a medium cookie scoop into 1/8-cup balls. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Stir 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar and arrange on the prepared pan, about 2 inches apart. Press a candy heart into the center of each cookie.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
