Hello again :)
For this Valentine's Day I wanted to make a special V-Day treat. One that looks complicated to make, but is really so simple.
Here's how I made my new favorite Valentine's Day cookies!
Ingredients:
Cookies-
Two packs of sugar cookie dough (or dough of your choosing)
Icing-
Powdered sugar
Water
Food coloring (optional)
Utensils-
Baking sheet
Wooden stick
Edible cookie decorations (found here)
Cookie cutters
To make the heart shaped cookies, I baked sugar cookies in a cake pan, let them cool, then used cookie cutters to make heart shapes before they hardened.
I then made the icing and iced the edges.
To ice the cookies, I made a border icing and flood icing. Basically what this means is the border icing is thicker than the middle icing. I took 1 cup of powdered sugar and added three and a half tablespoons of water. I mixed it up, put it in a zip lock baggie, and cut the corner to make an icing bag. I repeated these steps for the middle icing, only I added more water to make it more liquid than the border icing. You can eye it out to see how much extra water you will need to add.
Step 1: Border ice the cookie
Step 2: Spoon middle icing onto cookie
Step 3: Use wooden stick (or anything else that would work) to move icing to cover the whole face of the cookie
Step 4: Scrape any excess icing off of the sides
Step 5: Place edible cookie decoration on top of wet icing
Step 6: Scrape any excess icing off sides, and viola!
Valentine's Day cookies suitable for any love of yours!
I hope you enjoyed this guys! There's still time to make these today if you need a last minute festive treat :)
Enjoy!
