Heart Cookies

February 5, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 10 Comments

There is no better way to spoil a loved one than through the gift of home baked and decorated cookies. Sarah made up a big batch of heart cookies, and decorated them with fondant, in lovely Neapolitan shades. Perfect for Valentines Day!

Sarah has been experimenting with different sugar cookie recipes lately and I think she has found the perfect recipe. These sugar cookies tasted great on their own, and they didn’t spread during baking and held their shape perfectly.

The recipe was from Our Best Bites. We will be using this sugar cookie recipe again!

Sarah used some ready made fondant icing from a local cake decorating store, and coloured it in shades of pink (using Wilton’s gel) and chocolate. To make the chocolate fondant, Sarah melted 10g chocolate and mixed it with approx 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder until she achieved the right consistency and colour. It was then kneaded into the fondant.
The Heart Cookies were easy to decorate by cutting thinly rolled fondant with a cookie cutter. The small hearts were cut using a smaller icing cutter. The cookies were brushed with a transparent piping gel (available from cake decorating stores) before adding the layer of fondant.
