I-Love-You Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup cold butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp rose water
1 None egg
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 1/8 cup powdered sugar
None None green food coloring
None None silver-colored sprinkles

Preparation

Using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the butter, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, rose water and egg until a smooth dough forms. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 mins.
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Roll out the dough onto a well-floured surface, and cut out 9 large (4 inch x 3 inch) and 9 small (2 1/2 inch x 2 inch) hearts. Place them on 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake them for 10-12 mins until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 mins then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, use a hand mixer to beat the lemon juice and powdered sugar together until smooth. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, so that the icing becomes aquamarine. Brush the cookies with the icing and decorate them with sprinkles. Leave the icing to dry for about 30 mins. Meanwhile, mix the remaining icing with dark green food coloring and put it in a plastic zip lock bag. To make a design, cut a small hole on the corner of the bag and pipe patterns on the small cookies and 'I Love You' on the big cookies.
