In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together.
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until just combined.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
When the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4" thick. Use 3" heart cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on baking sheet.
Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, combine powdered sugar, meringue powder water and extract on a low speed.
Once combined, switch the mixer to high speed and let mix until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy.
Take 1/4 of the icing out and put into a piping bag fit with a small tip (I used Wilton 2).
Add pink icing to the mixture in the bowl and mix until combined. You may need to add a little more water to give this icing a thinner consistency. Place in a piping bag with a small/medium tip (I used Wilton 6).
Once cookies are cooled, use the pink icing to pipe an outline around the heart. Then fill in the middle. You can use a toothpick to spread the icing evenly.
Set cookies aside to dry.
Use white icing to write messages on the cookies.

Combine powdered sugar and water. Mix until combined.
Add pink food coloring. Mix until combined.
Dip cheerio halfway into the icing.
The icing will most likely fill in the cheerios center. Use a toothpick to push the icing through and create a hole again.
Add sprinkles.
Set aside to dry.
