Ingredients:
FOR THE COOKIES:
- 3 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. milk
- 1 (240ml.) block cream cheese, softened

- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. Salt

FOR THE BUTTERCREAM:
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in colour. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined.
- Shape into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- When ready to roll, heat up your COBB cooker and line two baking sheets (that fits the COBB) with parchment paper. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out dough until 1/8” thick. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Make frosting: In a large bow using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
- Divide frosting into 3 bowls. Add pink food colouring to one bowl and red food colouring to another. Stir each bowl and add more food colouring until desired colour is reached.
- Frost cookies using an offset spatula with each colour of frosting, then top with sprinkles.
