For best results, ensure your butter is properly softened, but not melted. This will help create a tender cookie. Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. If the dough becomes too soft while working with it, return it to the refrigerator to chill for a few more minutes. Gel food coloring provides the most vibrant colors without adding too much liquid to the frosting. Start with a small amount and add more until you achieve the desired shade. Get creative with your messages! Use a piping bag or a small Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off to pipe your messages onto the frosted cookies.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two cookie sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat until light and fluffy. (3 minutes)
03
StepBeat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepGradually add the flour, beating until just combined. The dough should be smooth and easy to handle. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading. (45 minutes)
05
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Re-roll scraps as needed. (15 minutes)
06
StepPlace the cookie shapes 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. (5 minutes)
07
StepBake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the bottoms are very lightly golden brown. (8 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the parchment paper with the baked cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, slide the parchment paper onto a work surface. (20 minutes)
09
StepDivide the vanilla frosting into several bowls and tint with gel food coloring to create your desired colors. (5 minutes)
10
StepFrost the cooled cookies with one color and use another color to pipe messages or designs on top. Let the frosting set before serving. (20 minutes)

Jun 2, 2025The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a cream cheese frosting instead.
