Valentine Stamped Cookies

 This year, I didn't have so much time to prepare the Valentine menu, well spent most of my time in Japan already, haha.

So the best way is to make something cute without taking a load of time, and cookie is my answer! This cookie is very easy to make, with melt butter, it's easier to control the texture of it. But using cake flour is recommend, it contains less protein than other kind of flour, so your cookie won't become hard. The dough doesn't melt quickly, so you can take your time when cutting and stamping until you get the right shape and style.
You can re-roll until using all the dough too. The cookie is good for keeping, so rather than making just for other you can keep (a lot of them) for yourself too, haha.
