Heart shaped cookies with a middle of melted, hard candies. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup shortening |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 cup crushed peppermint hard candies |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter or margarine, shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients (except candy) and mix well. Dough will be greasy.
2. Using a floured surface and rolling pin, roll out dough. Cut out 2 inch heart shaped cookies. Using a 1 inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out a smaller heart in the middle of the larger one. Put cookies on a foil lined cookie sheet.
3. Inside of cut-out heart, sprinkle crushed candy crumbs (such as red life savers or candy canes). Spread the crumbs to the inside edges of the cookie.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degees C) for 10-12 minutes. When cookes have cooled, remove from sheets. The cookie can be frosted if you desire.
