Simple Yet Gourmet

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...

Valentine's Day is coming up soon and these rolls would be a perfect addition to the menu! Not only are they adorable, they are also super light, fluffy, and buttery.  Leave them plain or add some seasonings, either way they are sure to please.  And don't be intimidated by the heart shape- they are really easy to do.  However, these rolls obviously don't have to be made into hearts.  You could shape them into regular dinner rolls and they would still taste just as delicious...they just wouldn't be as cute ;).
