Lovely Heart Shaped Valentine's Day Cookies

Lovely Heart Shaped Valentine's Day Cookies

The perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day is heart-shaped cookies.These cookies are easy, simple, and cute. They are an amazing sugar cookie that will help you show your love this Valentine's Day. The recipe is from American Gilr Magazine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened  
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • red food coloring
  • 1 can vanilla frosting (or some homemade frosting)

Instructions: 

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda. 
  2. Add a few drops of food coloring to the butter mixture, a little bit at a time. Keep mixing until the dough sticks together. 
  3. Use clean hands to shape the cookie dough into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. 
  4. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough on a floured cutting board. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  
  5.  Bake the cookies in a preheated 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely. Once the cookies are cooled, use the frosting to make sandwich cookies. (You don't have to make sandwiches, you can just decorate or if you are lazy like me, you can leave them plain.)

How To French Braid

Image
First, you need to brush your hair out and spray with some water and gel.  Then you want to start at the  top of your head and divide your hair into three sections. Start braiding like normal. Take the right side of the middle piece so the middle piece is now on the right. Now take the left piece and bring it to the middle. With that left piece add some more hair to make it a bigger piece. Then take the right piece and bring it over the middle piece and add in more hair.  Continue doing this until you run out of hair to add in. Then just braid your hair normally till the end. Secure with an elastic.

Countdown To Summer

Countdown To Summer     I can't believe school is almost out! I'm so ready to start singing "What Time Is It" from High School Musical. To get me even more excited I decided to make a countdown chain. It is so easy to make and you can just make a chain for decoration too.      To make this chain all you need is: Cute paper Siccors or a paper cutter Glue or tape     First, cut your paper into strips. For my paper I decided to use bright and summery colors, after all, it is a countdown to summer. Then take one strip and tape or glue it in a circle. Then take another strip and put it through the first circle. Then, just make another circle and continue. You can either do how many school days are left or how many days are left.      Then, don't forget to rip off a link every day, to keep track of how many days until summer!!
