These Valentines Day heart cookies come out of the oven fully decorated! All the color and wow factor without the need to mix up batches of royal icing! I made them with some pink sanding sugar rolled into the pink stripes for an extra sparkly pop but they look just as nice plain. I think these heart cookies would be a great project for younger chefs too! The laminating looks really professional but it’s actually fun to do and the sanding sugar adds even more appeal. Full Recipe: A FEW TIPS * I've made these cookies without the sanding sugar and they're super-pretty so feel free to omit if you can't get ahold of pink sanding sugar? * If the cookie dough is warming up and becoming difficult to handle then place in freezer or fridge to chill until firm. It’s best to work on a sheet of plastic wrap or a pastry mat so you can move the dough to and from the fridge easily. * You’re going to end up with a fair amount of scraps after you cut the cookies out of you’re striped dough. I used smaller circle cutters to use as much of the dough as possible, then balled up the rest, rolled it out and had some crazy looking but tasty scrap cookies for snacks. * You can make this dough a few weeks in advance and keep it in the freezer, provided it’s well-wrapped. When you’re ready to use it just thaw a bit, cut your cookies and toss into the oven. * The best time to roll that sanding sugar on is when the dough has warmed up after the final roll out. If the dough is too cold the sanding sugar won't stick. SUBSCRIBE ► -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADD ME ON: Facebook: Instagram: Pinterest: Website:
