Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gradually stir in 1.5 cups flour until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut into heart shapes and place on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Step 5
Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons red sugar.
