- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Step 1
In a bowl, add butter and sugar and using a hand blender beat it till soft and fluffy.

Divide the dough into 4-5 workable portions. Roll the dough balls into about ¼” thickness. Using a heart shape cookie cutter cut out the cookie dough. Using another smaller cutter make a hole in its centre.
