Creative Cookie Magic: Transforming a Basic Heart Cut-out Cookie into a Unique Valentine's Day cookie.

Hey cookiers 💕 Today, I'm thrilled to share a fun and creative way to use a heart cookie cutter to whip up some adorable cookies for Valentine's Day. Whether you're a baking novice or a seasoned pro, this technique is sure to add a touch of magic to your sweet treats. I recently shared a video tutorial on my YouTube channel, demonstrating how you can easily transform a heart cookie into a cute panty cookie that I made for a bachelorette party. Let's dive into the delightful world of cookie crafting!

Materials Needed:

1. Basic heart-shaped cookie cutter
2. Your favorite cookie dough recipe
3. Rolling pin
4. Flour for dusting
5. Royal icing: Pink Medium consistency
6. Red and white flooding consistency
7. Pastry bag with decorating tip #2
8. Toothpicks

Procedure:

Prepare Your Cookie Dough: Start by preparing your favorite cookie dough recipe. It could be a classic sugar cookie or a flavor that holds a special place in your heart. Here is my favorite: Best cut-out cookie recipe.

1. 
   

   Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out your cookie dough to an even thickness, cover with plastic paper and put it in the fridge for 4-6 hours, overnight is best. Make sure it's not too thin to maintain the cookie's structure.

2. 
   

   Cut Out Transformation: Use your heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the initial heart shapes.

3. Flip the hear cookie and using the same heart cookie cutter cut the top part of the cookie.

   Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

   
   

   Bake to Perfection:

4. Follow your cookie dough recipe's baking instructions and bake the altered hearts until they are golden brown around the edges. The result? A batch of charming and unique "panties" cookies.

5. Once your cookies have cooled, it's time to unleash your creativity and start decorating them. I started by outlining the design on the cookie and then I cover the cookie with the pink flooding consistency icing and then I used the wet on wet technique, HERE you can watch a video where I explain how to make this technique. 

   
   

   

   
   

   I made some hearts and tiny dots, but yo can make any design you want. Then I added a scallop edge in the bottom of design and let them dry completely. Your Valentine's Day cookies are now ready to steal the show!
