To prepare a bethanys favorite valentine cut out sugar cookies recipe, first you need to prepare your sugar cookie batter. First, you will need your butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and vanilla extract. You can find these ingredients at your local grocery store. Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then, add the vanilla and egg mixture and beat until combined. Add the flour and mix until just combined, then add in the chocolate chips. Scoop the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool before removing them from the oven.
