PINK HEART SANDWICH COOKIES



Pink Heart Sandwich Cookies image

The pink hearts are made from a sugar-cookie dough; the chocolate hearts are a little denser. What holds these charming sandwich cookies together is a filling that will remind you of an Oreo. It's creamy, but granulated sugar gives it a tender crunch. (This is the corrected version of this recipe.)

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 3h25m

Yield Makes 51 (eighteen 1-inch sandwich cookies, eighteen 1 1/2-inch sandwich cookies, and fifteen 2-inch sandwich cookies)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for parchment
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Red and pink gel-paste food coloring
Cream Filling

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Remove from the mixer and and knead until a dough forms.
  • Divide dough into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on how many shades of pink you would like the cookies to be. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, add food coloring, 1 drop at a time, mixing and kneading to combine, until desired shade is reached; the more food coloring you add, the darker the color will be. Flatten each piece of colored dough into a disk, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Bring to room temperature, about 10 minutes, before rolling.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees with racks in top and lower thirds. Roll out each disk of dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment to just under 1/4 inch thick, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Cut out 1-, 1 1/2-, and 2-inch heart shapes, making sure you have even numbers in each color and size for a total of thirty-six 1-inch, thirty-six 1 1/2-inch, and thirty 2-inch cookies, rerolling scraps once. Place cookies 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, and freeze until very firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake until barely golden brown around edges, about 8 minutes for 1-inch cookies, 10 minutes for 1 1/2-inch cookies, and 12 minutes for 2-inch cookies, rotating halfway through. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets set on wire racks. Spread or pipe (using a pastry bag and a small plain tip) filling onto bottom side of half the cookies, and sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

BLACK & PINK COOKIES



Black & Pink Cookies image

These are a variation on the classic Black and White Cookie. Black and white cookies are actually thin flat cakes that are popular at Jewish delis, and I've loved them since childhood because of how soft they are. The cookies themselves are typically flavored with vanilla as well as something tangy, like buttermilk or sour cream, and some lemon which brightens them up under their thick blankets of glaze. They have such great personality, and I love both sides equally.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Zest of 1/2 lemon
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
3/4 cup whole milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely ground in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Pinch kosher salt
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Pinch kosher salt
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk yogurt

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla. Add the yogurt and dry ingredients in 2 or 3 alternating additions and mix until just combined. Scoop out 1/4-cup blobs of the batter onto the lined baking sheets (using an ice cream scoop helps achieve uniform size and round cookies!), 2 to 3 inches apart. (You may need to bake in batches if they don't all fit on the two baking sheets.) Bake until the tops are set and the bottoms are just beginning to brown; begin checking for doneness at 14 minutes. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the strawberry glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, strawberry powder, corn syrup, salt and 3 tablespoons yogurt until smooth and combined. If it's too thick to spread, add additional yogurt a little bit at a time until it's spreadable.
  • For the chocolate glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, corn syrup, salt and 3 tablespoons yogurt until smooth and combined. If it's too thick to spread, add additional yogurt a little bit at a time until it's spreadable.
  • Spread half of each cookie on the flat side with a thick layer of strawberry glaze and let set, about 30 minutes. Spread the other half of each cookie with a thick layer of chocolate glaze and let set, about 30 minutes.

PINK SWEETIES (PRETTY PINK ALMOND COOKIES)



Pink Sweeties (Pretty Pink Almond Cookies) image

These pretty, pink and white swirled, iced almond cookies came from the Woodbine Cottage in Granbury, TX (via my friend, Victoria!). They have a nice almond flavor, they keep well, and they look so pretty! I think they'd be nice for a baby shower, or for Valentine's Day, because of their pink color. (Note: I find this dough to be rather stiff, and recommend using a heavy-duty mixer.)

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together and stir it into the cream mixture until well blended. 6. Drop heaping cookie scoops on baking stone and bake for 10-12 minutes. After baking for 10 - 12 minutes, use spatula to flatten cookies and bake for 2 minutes more. 7. Cool on wire racks before frosting. NOTE: This recipe makes 4 1/2 dozen 2" - 3" diameter cookies. FROSTING: 1. In large bowl, cream together cream cheese, butter and sugar. 2. Mix in vanilla and add half n'half one tablespoon at a time until a spreadable consistency is reached. 3.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best-tasting cookies. If you can, use organic or natural ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to rise and set quickly, preventing them from becoming dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating: This will help to prevent the frosting or decorations from melting or sliding off the cookies.

Conclusion:

These pink cookies are simply delicious and are a perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Try experimenting with different flavors and colors of sprinkles to create your own unique pink cookies.
