 These would also be fun to cut out using heart cookie cutters. Just flour your counter and roll out the dough. Cut out shapes with cutters and follow the rest of the directions above.

pink sugar cookies

These cookies are crunchy and soft – a perfect combination!  To make your own colored sugar, is super easy. Just use regular granulated sugar and a drop of red food coloring.  I used both my homemade and also store-bought red and magenta sanding sugar.  I prefer the crunch of the sanding sugar, but in a pinch, the granulated sugar works just fine.
