Cook with Carson Valentine’s Cookies (Grandma’s Recipe!)

In this episode of #cookingwithcarson, Carson makes Valentine’s day cookies using his great grandmother’s beloved recipe..including the amazing frosting (just three ingredients!)

?GREAT GRANDMA’S VALENTINE’S COOKIE RECIPE:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat ingredients and stir in flour gradually.  Chill dough covered in the fridge for 20 minutes and cool to touch.  Roll onto a lightly floured surface to desired thickness and cut into shapes.  Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes for standard cookies.  Our silicon baking mat (these are bomb!)

?BEST HOME-MADE FROSTING RECIPE:
About 1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Splash of milk
(Food coloring optional)

Add melted butter and milk to powdered sugar.  Stir to combine until forms a slightly runny glaze.  Keep adding powdered sugar to reach your desired thickness.  Stir in food coloring (we used 13 drops red to achieve the pink color).

Store cookies refrigerated in a single layer with wax paper between to protect sprinkles and decorations.  We love them decorated with cinnamon candies!
