How to Make Valentine’s Day Cake Mix Sugar Cookies
- Mix together all of your ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl until a dough-like consistency is formed.
- Place the dough in the fridge to chill for an hour in the bowl or in a ball covered with plastic wrap.
- Heat your oven to 350 °F. Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge you can roll it out until it is 1/4 inch thick and cut it with cookie cutters. Or simply scoop the dough with a spoon onto a baking sheet. Please note these cookies will spread so keep in mind to use a simple cookie cutter and maintain an inch of space between each cookie.
- Place the cookies in the oven for 7-9 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a baking rack before icing (icing is optional)
How to Make a Simple Buttercream Icing
- In a stand mixer, add 1/2 cup of softened butter.
- Slowly mix in 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar, whipping on medium speed until combined.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix until you can’t see brown streaks anymore.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a touch of milk. If the mixture is too thin, add more icing sugar.
