This recipe was found at Made Famous By Blog (a great blog if you haven't visited before). I wanted mine to have a bit of a pop so I added several Valentine's M&Ms to the top of each cookie for a little extra color. These cookies make quite a few so it's perfect to send in with your kids for the classmates or take them to work to share as a special Valentine's Day Treat.
You will love these!

ReplyDeleteI could't find pink food coloring at my local store so I mixed in Betty Crocker Red Gel Food Coloring with some water and it turned the dough pink!
ReplyDeleteIs it 1lb of butter or 2, because the picture shows 4 long sticks which is 2 lbs, but the recipy says 1. I made these tonight and it was very hard to mix in flour, I figured it was because of the butter.
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy
DeleteTwo sticks is one cup and four sticks is one pound. That could be different in other parts of the country or world but as far as any butter I buy four sticks is one pound. I hope this helps. I'm so sorry for the confusion.
My office is gonna lov those cookies thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteHi I really love these cookies and I am going to make these for my daughters first grade valentines day party and I need to know which exact pink wilton dye did you use...icing...candy gel?
ReplyDeleteI used the food color gel by Wilton in Rose.
Delete@Ivy Oneill -- the picture actually shows one pound of butter. The "long sticks" are 8 Tbsp, or 1/2 cup. 4 sticks is equal to 2 cups or 1 pound (although most recipes will call for the butter in cups more commonly). The "short sticks" that you are thinking of are 4 Tbsp and 4 of them equal 1 cup or .5 lbs, not 1. Also, make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature (butter and eggs). This makes it easier to mix the ingredients well. If you were mixing by hand, it will be harder to mix due to the volume of the recipe. You can reduce the recipe by half and make two separate batches if that's easier. :) Best of luck baking!
ReplyDeleteWow these are so cute! Would love to make them. Thanks for the recipe!

ReplyDeleteHow many cookies does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteKaitlin, I wish I knew what to tell you but the original recipe didn't say how many it made and I can't recall now that it has been so long ago that I last made them. I do recall that I had a lot of cookies out of the recipe. I'm so sorry to not have a great answer.
DeleteI was wondering if the rose by wilton made this bright pink color...i want ti make them 2moro and want to have the right color... Please and thank you!
ReplyDeleteDid the rose by wilton make that bright pink color?...i want to make them 2moro and want to make sure i get the right color
ReplyDeleteYes, the rose by Wilton was all I used to get the bright color. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWhat should the oven be set to?
ReplyDeleteAnd how long should they bake?
I didn't see it in the recipe, but maybe I'm just missing it.
The link for the printable recipe tells you all the instructions on preparation and baking them but if you missed the link here it is:

Good Luck with the cookies. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
Could I use ready to bake cookie dough and add food coloring ? For fast hot pink cookies? Do u think the color would be the same?
ReplyDeleteRachelle, I would think that you could add food coloring to the store bought cookie dough but I don't know for sure since I've never done it that way. If you try it and it works well for you let me know! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteHow long do u bake them n @ wat temperature? How many dozens does this make also? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteTamira, here is a link to the printable recipe (you might have missed the link above in the post):

I am not sure how many dozen it makes because the original recipe didn't say and it has been a long time since I made them. I know I had a lot of cookies but I don't have an exact amount. Good luck with them. I hope you enjoy them.
Where did you get the pink food coloring? I can only find red and yellow by my house.
ReplyDeleteI get my gel food coloring from Michael's or Hobby Lobby. You don't usually see it in the grocery store. Good luck with your search.
DeleteI am baking these as we speak. I am doing half the recipe and I think that my kitchen would have been better because this is some heavy duty stuff for this dough lol. Recipe was super easy and half the recipe is a lot of cookies and the pink adds a nice color. I definitely added some peanut butter valentine's day m&m's. Will make these again!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. So glad you are making them. I was shocked how many cookies it made so I'm glad to hear it worked to just make half. Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteI ate them, my boyfriend ate them, my Co workers ate them. We all loved them! Awesome recipe! Plus it's cute!
DeleteFirst dozen are in the oven! I was chosen to make the class valentine treat for my Pre-K daughter. Her favorite color is pink of course so I was excited to find this! Couldn't find pink dye so we used red and its still pink!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Hope they turn out great and she enjoys them.
DeleteAt what temp do you bake these at and for how long?
ReplyDeleteBake at 350 for 15-25 minutes. There is a link to the printable recipe above. It says "Print recipe HERE" and if you click it you should be able to print the full recipe. Thanks!
