Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • With a stand mixer or electric mixer, cream together cake mix, food coloring, oil, and eggs.
  • Chill the dough for 15 minutes.
  • Roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball and then roll in icing sugar.
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and press a large heart sprinkle in the middle.
  • Place baking sheet and cookies in the fridge to chill for 5 minutes.
  • Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Let cool on pan and then remove to cool completely on a wire rack

Notes

Chill dough: Cold dough is easier to shape and prevents spreading.
Use parchment: Lining the baking sheet helps cookies bake evenly.
Don’t overbake: They should look soft when removed, as they firm while cooling.
Press hearts gently: Press the sprinkles lightly so they stay in place without flattening the cookie.
