Make heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day.
Heart-shaped Valentine cookies are an innovative holiday gift versus the usual flowers and chocolates. Many Valentine cookie recipes exist that will satisfy just about anyone's sweet tooth. These recipes include cookies on sticks, traditional hearts and flower cookies.
Cookies on Sticks
Cut heart shapes from your favorite cookie dough, and attach the base of each heart shape to a wooden craft stick. Decorate the cookies with colored icing or sprinkles after they cool. Once decorated, wrap them in red or pink cellophane for a festive look. Present the cookie lollipops to your special someone on Valentine's Day.
Traditional Heart Sugar Cookies
Cut heart-shaped cookies from sugar cookie dough. After baking, decorate the cookies with red or pink sprinkles, or add icing to them. A Valentine's message for your special someone may be written on the cookies with icing. Candy hearts and red hots can serve as toppers if icing is applied to the entire cookie.
Flower Cookies
Place some green foam at the bottom of a decorative basket. Bake some cookies on sticks, and insert them into the green foam so they resemble flowers. After arranging the cookies on sticks, add complementary items, such as chocolate candy, hot cocoa mix, and heart-shaped cookie cutters, for a creative look that special someone is sure to love.
