Valentine’S Day Cornmeal Cookies

• 2 cups Flour
• 1/2 cups Yellow Cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
• 1/2 cups Splenda
• 1 whole Large Egg
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla, Divided
• 1/4 cups Splenda For Coating
• 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 drops Pink Or Red Food Coloring

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. In a medium bowl mix together flour, cornmeal, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl cream butter and 1/2 cup Splenda until creamy. Add in egg and 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla and mix until combined.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture using the mixer to incorporate all ingredients together. Using your hands pull the dough together into a ball.
5. Pull enough dough off to make 1" balls. Roll the balls in the 1/4 cup of Splenda and place on a non-stick cookie sheet.
6. Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass. Take a 1" heart shaped cookie cutter and make an impression in the center of the cookie. Be careful not to cut all the way through the dough.
7. Bake until they have golden edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
8. Let cookies cool on wire rack.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 3/4 teaspoons cold water. Add 1 - 2 drops of food coloring. Use this mixture to glaze cookies (just glaze inside the heart shape) and let cool.
