VALENTINE CINNAMON SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Surprise your Sweetie or your kids with these fun cookies on Valentine's Day!! I am a lover of the tiny red candy cinnamon hearts. You can decorate with those or get the pink and red M&Ms celebrated for this day. You can purchase a Wilton 6-pc heart cookie cutter set which are multiple sizes. I used that set for making these cookies. I did not roll the dough, but placed an amount of dough into each heart. The M&Ms will not melt while baking, but the cinnamon hearts will. After baking for 5 to 7 minutes I removed them from the oven and placed the hearts on at that time to prevent melting. You may want to have the tiny candy hearts on the entire time and have a little more "spread" of the flavor. Enjoy the Fun!

Steps:
- Mix room softened butter with sugar and vanilla.
- Combine cinnamon with salt and flour. Add to butter mixture and mix until it forms a dough.
- On waxed paper press a small amount of dough into a heart shaped cookie cutter. If using M&Ms decorate after placing cookie dough on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- If using red cinnamon heart candies, place undecorated cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 325 degree oven. Remove after 5-7 minutes and decorate with red cinnamon heart candies. Place back in oven and finish baking. This allows candies to not get completely melted.
- TOTAL time for baking cookies is approximately 15 minutes. Do NOT let cookies get brown edges.
- Yield depends on size of cookie used. 36 is an approximate amount.

Steps:
- Beat butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer until fluffy; add vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar, ground cinnamon candies, and cornstarch and mix with hand mixer until combined.
- Incorporate flour 1/4 cup at a time, mixing with your hands until all flour is used and dough comes together.
- Divide dough into halves; roll each into an 8-inch cylinder. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove dough from freezer and let thaw just until slightly softened.
- Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices and arrange onto baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven until firm along the edges but not yet browned, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on racks for 5 minutes before moving to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Use good quality butter: The butter should be cold and firm, not melted or softened. This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too greasy.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
