Directions

1 In large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, the butter, milk, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder and salt until well mixed, scraping bowl occasionally.
2 Divide dough in half. To one half of dough, stir or knead in red food color until desired pink color. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
3 Heat oven to 400°F. Work with 1/3 of white dough at a time; keep remaining dough refrigerated. On lightly floured work surface, roll out white dough with rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped canapé or cookie cutter; place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with 1/3 of pink dough, keeping remaining pink dough refrigerated.
4 Using floured 1-inch heart-shaped canapé or cookie cutter, cut center from each pink and white cookie. Remove centers; replace each center of cookie with cutout of opposite colored dough. Sprinkle with sugar.
5 Bake 5 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

These were absolutely delicious. Chilling the dough is definitely necessary, as the large quantity of butter can make it stick to the counter relatively easily, even when floured. Once you chill it in the fridge, it's actually helpful to put the dough you're not using into the freezer while you work with small portions at a time. It was also extremely helpful to have two people, as it let us work with the dough faster before it warmed up. These taste great. Sweet, but not cloyingly so. Soft and chewy - definitely check these at 4.5 to 5 minutes. Decorating icing is a really nice touch - not only for a cute personal flare, but also to add a little bit of moisture and a different flavor. Oh, and one last tip - making them a little thicker makes them easier to handle. We still wound up with over 75 cookies, even though we rolled them out thicker than 1/8 inch.
