Would it be Valentine's without a heart-shaped sugar cookie? For a spin on the traditional, try these cookies. They're packed with oatmeal and make just a little bit more of a hearty cookie...hearty, just like how I like my sweetheart!
The bonus is they come together quickly, especially for sugar cookies. They do not require chilling before rolling out. If you do use margarine however, you will want to chill the dough at least 1 hour before rolling and cutting out.
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 Tbsp milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cream butter and sugar together until well blended. Stir in milk, eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. Stir in flour mixture and oats.
On a floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8"-1/4" thickness. Cut into heart shapes and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire racks. Decorate as desired.
Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.
