Valentine’s biscuits are a delightful way to celebrate love with a sweet homemade treat that’s as cute as it is delicious. Whether you’re baking for a loved one or treating yourself, these heart-shaped biscuits are sure to spread the love with every bite.
The base of the biscuits is a simple, buttery dough that comes together quickly with ingredients you likely already have on hand, flour, sugar, butter, and a splash of vanilla extract. What makes these biscuits stand out is their soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the tender crumb that’s perfect for a little indulgence.
To make them extra special for Valentine’s Day, cut the dough into heart shapes using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife. You can make them as big or small as you like, depending on how you want to serve them, smaller biscuits are perfect for gifting or serving as part of a dessert platter, while larger ones make for a lovely centerpiece.
Once the biscuits are baked to a golden brown, it’s time to have fun with the decorating! A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk can be drizzled over the top, or you can add a pop of color with some pink or red icing. For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles, edible glitter, or even a few heart-shaped candy pieces for decoration.
These Valentine’s biscuits can be served as a snack, dessert, or gift for anyone you want to impress. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or hot chocolate for a cozy treat to enjoy with loved ones. You can also package them in a cute box or wrap them in parchment paper for a sweet, homemade gift.
Easy to make, customizable, and full of love, these Valentine’s biscuits are a perfect way to show how much you care. Whether you’re baking for a romantic partner, friends, or family, these heart-shaped treats will make your Valentine’s Day extra sweet.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half and add a few drops of red food coloring to one half. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- Wrap both dough halves in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the plain dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the red dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The dough was too sticky! No way this is a half hour project like it says.
Totally yum! My kids loved them, especially the red ones! 🌟
Sounds great! My kids would devour these! How do you make the red ones so bright? 🌈
Super easy recipe! I added some chocolate chips to the batter, and it was a hit at the party!
Not sure about adding chocolate chips, isn’t that a bit weird for biscuits? But glad it worked for you.
Chocolate chips?! That’s a genius idea! I might try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
2 cups of flour is too much, I used 1.5 and they turned out better! 💁♀️
Made these for my girlfriend and she was so happy. They tasted great and looked nice. ❤️
Super easy to make! But what kind of flour is all-purpose? Can I use self-raising?
Yum! Just made them for my kids. They loved the red color! Can’t wait to make again!
Really easy recipe! My kids had fun making them. Just used a cookie cutter that was dinosaur-shaped instead of hearts. Still a hit! 🦖
That sounds so fun! I’m sure the dino shapes were a hit. We’re gonna try it this weekend! 🦖
I don’t know about the red food coloring… seems kinda artificial to me. 🤔
I totally get you! I prefer using natural colors too, but sometimes a little artificial can be fun for special occasions like Valentine’s. 🍪❤️
I don’t know about the red food coloring. Makes me think of chemicals. Can they be made without it?
I understand your concerns! You could skip the food coloring completely or try using natural alternatives like beet juice for color.
But it’s just a little bit! Doesn’t hurt. I think it adds to the look on Valentine’s! Just make sure to mix it well.
These biscuits turned out amazing! Perfectly soft and sweet. My boyfriend loved them! ❤️
So glad to hear that! They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day! 🥰
Easy and fun to make with my kids! We laughed the whole time! ❤️
These biscuits are so cute! Perfect for Valentine’s Day! ❤️
They look adorable, but I’m not sure about using food coloring. Is it really safe for kids?
I know, right? They would make such a sweet gift for anyone! Can’t wait to try this! 🥰
This recipe is missing something… like a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg would have made these better.
Eh, not what I expected. They were kinda bland. I added some chocolate chips, maybe that helped.
I totally get you! They do look cute but can be a bit tasteless. Chocolate chips sound like a good idea! Maybe try adding some spices for extra flavor next time?
just ok
Honestly, I don’t get the hype. They were alright but nothing special. Maybe I did something wrong?
Is this suppose to be for valentine’s only? I eat cookies anytime!
Just 2 words: cookies, yum!
I dunno… sounds too complicated for cookies, aren’t they just sugar and flour? 🤔
Yesss! Cookies are the best! Can’t wait to try this recipe! 😍
I think I mixed up the flour with cornstarch by accident. Yikes. The texture was a bit off, but still edible! 😂
Cornstarch? Isn’t that for thickening sauces? How did that happen? Just curious if it was any good. 🤔
Oops! At least you were able to eat them. Maybe try again with the right ingredients next time? 😂
Easy to follow! Mine turned out beautiful. Will make again!
These biscuits are so cute! My kids loved helping me cut them out. Happy Valentine’s Day!
I dunno, are these biscuits really that great? My kids wouldn’t even help me make them. 🤔
So glad to hear your kids enjoyed it! These biscuits really are perfect for Valentine’s! 💕
I’m skeptical about the red food coloring. Isn’t it bad for you?
These were a flop for me. Maybe I measured wrong?
I love baking, tried this but forgot to refrigerate! they spread out like pancakes
These biscuits came out so pretty! Perfect for Valentine’s Day. My partner loved them!
Where do I find heart-shaped cutters? Can’t seem to locate any! 🤔
Why do you have to refrigerate the dough for so long? Can’t you just bake them right away? It seems silly.
Followed the recipe but they burnt in the oven. How is that even possible?!? 😠
