  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Mix in baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  5. Add flour and mix until cookie dough forms.
  6. Add green food coloring and stir to evenly distribute the color.
  7. Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
  8. Place one heart sprinkle on one side of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until bottoms start to get golden and tops are no longer glossy.

Notes

For best results, press the heart sprinkle onto the cookie immediately after baking to ensure it sticks well. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
