Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Vivatta Maida
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 10 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted)
- 1/3 cup Chilled Water
- 1/2 cup Sugar (Use half the quantity with I’m lite– 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons Vivatta Maida, for dusting
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the flour and salt. Stir to mix.
- Next, cube the butter and then add it to the flour bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dough.
- Make a hole in the center of the dough and pour in all of the water. Using a fork, stir to combine the dough.
- Flour a cutting board, and add the dough. Pat it into a rough square. The dough will come together with each roll.
- Flour the rolling pin, and roll the dough out in front of you into a rectangle of approximately 10 inches.
- Fold the bottom third of the dough over the middle of the dough.
- Fold the upper third of the dough on top of the middle too. Rotate the dough one-quarter turn, and repeat.
- Use additional flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Roll out, fold, and turn the dough atleast 6 or 7 times. Refrigerate it preferably overnight.
- Remove the dough and roll it in 1/4 inch thin sheet. Cover it with I’m lite.
- Now start rolling the pastry inwards from both corners. Cut it 1/4 inch pieces.
- Bake it at 375 F for 15 mins then turn the pastry and bake it for additional 10 min so both the sides are brown and crispy. Serve this treat when done.
