So if you're looking for a great ww friendly Valentine's dessert Just keep watching For our Valentine's baking series, we are going to be making white chocolate dipped sugar cookies with sprinkles You guys these are so fun so gorgeous and so perfect for Valentine's Day And wait until you see the smart points for a full sized cookie dipped in white chocolate So let me show you what's in this year's Valentine sugar cookies. You're going to need some flour Sugar alternative of your choice monk fruit is my favorite white chocolate chips Alternative sugar would be great such as these baked believe you can pick these up at your local Walmart And these are absolutely delicious. They are steediest sweetened. So we're going to be using those You'll need some sprinkles. So I went ahead and picked up some pink ones some red food coloring almond extract Light butter and maraschino cherries. So let's get started on these cookies The first thing we're going to do for our cookies is do our dry ingredients So I have two and a half cups here of all-purpose flour And then we're also going to add half of a cup of I'm using the monk fruit sweetener But you would add whatever sweetener alternative that you choose to use You're just gonna want to give this just a quick stir You want that sugar to be incorporated pretty good in with the flour And then we are going to cut in one cup of light butter. So I'm going to do Little spoonfuls of butter into my flour And then I'm just going to cut it in with my spoon and that'll create that crumbly dough Once you've cut in your butter you can see that we're getting a dough consistency here if our mix So what I have here is two ounces of maraschino cherries I did dry them and cut them in fours Just so that we get a little bit of cherry in all of the cookies and then I measured out on my food scale six ounces of The white chocolate chips is actually a lot and we're just going to add a little bit of the white chocolate chips to our batter Not much because we want to keep the majority of it for Melting because we are going to be dipping these cookies in white chocolate. How fun. So I'm going to give this just another quick stir I just want those white chocolate chips and those cherries to get a little bit more incorporated And then from here, we're going to go ahead and add in our almond extract And it's about a half of a teaspoon so I am not going to put very much in at all and then again another stir Make sure that almond extract gets mixed thoroughly through so you don't get a big punch of almond extract in one single cookie And then if you want it is optional You can add some red food coloring If you want to color your dough and I am going to do that I think that's going to be pretty fun for Valentine's Day So I'm just going to drop in some red food coloring and then give my dough another mix And then we're ready to get this into cookie shapes and get these into the oven Go ahead and pull out your cookie sheet line it with some parchment paper. Here's our dough It looks so pretty it has that little titch of red from that food coloring And we're going to start rolling out our cookies and we don't want them We want them about an inch or so big of a ball or three quarters of an inch of a ball So this is about the size that we're going for with our cookies and look at how pretty that looks With that food coloring and then we're just going to go ahead and put that here on our cookie sheet And we're going to repeat that until we have Goal 24 cookies, but let's see how many I've never made these before so let's kind of see how many we can get out of a batch Every time I close my eyes So once you've rolled out your cookies look at these yum, they're so pretty You're gonna go ahead and take a paper plate with some of your sweetener on there And you're going to need a glass and what we're going to do is dip the glass here in the sugar And then we're gonna use it to flatten out our cookies so that we get that nice circular shape when they bake in the oven I have the oven preheating at 350 degrees and then we'll be ready to throw these in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes until they're cooked through The first batch of cookies is out of the oven. It took about 10 minutes in my oven to get these cooked They're perfect. They're not brown or anything on the bottom. They're absolutely perfect So we're gonna let these cool the second batch is in the oven. So let's get the chocolate Melty white chocolate dip red so in a small saucepan. I have two teaspoons of light butter to that I'm going to add the rest of those white chocolate chips and we are going to let this just melt down and Basically, it's going to make a white chocolate dipping sauce for our cookies And then we'll be ready to dip them in add some pink sprinkles and we have a Valentine's Day cookie All right, so I've started to dip my cookies I wanted to see kind of how I wanted to do it So you're gonna take your cooled cookie here in my bowl I have the melted down white chocolate Butter and a little bit of milk and we're gonna go ahead and dip our cookie in we want about it half Covered with the white chocolate mix and then I'm gonna set it aside for just a couple of minutes Let that start to dry or harden a little bit before we dip it in to the sanding sugar And I just have this Wilton sprinkles and you guys look how pretty this is it actually has this fun iridescent to it Once it sat for just a few seconds You're gonna go ahead and pick up your half dipped cookie and we're just gonna roll it in the sanding sugar To get the look that you like and look at that you guys how Fun is this now you can color your white chocolate You could add a little bit extra of the red food coloring to your white chocolate and color that as well But look how fun are these cookies dipped in that fun pink sanding sugar? So I'm gonna go ahead and get the rest of this batch dipped while my other batch is in the oven Standing on the porch in the night thinking I will used to be way back in time in time They put on the grass open skies. I can feel it every time I close my eyes So here are our cookies you guys they turned out so Good look at how Adorable adorable these are with the white chocolate and the cherries a little bit of red food coloring Dip it in a little white chocolate and some bright print pink glittery sprinkles And you have in a gorgeous Valentine's Day cookie So my recipe did make 24 cookies one cookie is for smart points So not bad at all you guys because these are pretty good sized cookies and they have white chocolate Maraschino cherries and they're dipped in white chocolate and sugar so you can't beat it for four smart points So happy Valentine's Day.
