You will need a spritz cookie press. Use the Heart shaped disc for these.
For one batch here is the recipe you need. I make two batches one pink and one red. When you mix your food coloring do it into the egg as you beat it and then add to the sugar. pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg room temperature and slightly beaten (add food color here)
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp almond extract
Cream the butter in a bowl, in a small bowl beat egg with food coloring then add the sugar to the egg and food color mixture and add this to cream butter. Add the flour, baking powder, and almond extract and mix well. Roll dough into a log wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Open the top of your spritz cookie maker and put the dough inside. Press out your cookies on an un greased cookie sheet. bake 8-10 minutes.
