Start by preheating the oven to 350F, then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a stand mixer cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together using a paddle attachement until light in color and fluffy. Add in the egg white and the vanilla and mix again for 30 seconds or until fully incorporated. Mix in the gel food coloring.
1 stick butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 large egg white, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon neon green food coloring
Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix just until the flour disappears. Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out equally sized cookie dough balls, roll them in the sugar and place them on the parchment lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave 2 inches between each cookie because they will spread. Top the cookies with a red heart before baking.
1 &⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, Heart sprinkles
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, pull them out and let them rest on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a cooling wrack. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
