Ingredients

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup old-fashioned oats
Red colored sugar, optional

Directions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla; add to butter mixture. Stir in flour mixture; stir in oats.
On a floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into heart shapes; place on ungreased baking sheets. Decorate with red sugar if desired. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Test Kitchen Tip

Take time to cream the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy, that will help your dough come together easily.
