Hi Scribblers!

Looking for a a fun treat to make with the kids? Make and decorate heart shaped cookies!

To make the cookies from scratch, check out our Linzer Tart post to find the recipe!

To make and decorate these cookies, you will need:

Once your cookies have come out of the oven and cooled, it’s time to get creative!

Here are a few tips to get you started!

Dip your cookie into melted Chocolate melts. You can dip the whole cookie, or  make a black/pink cookie!

Cover the inside of a cookie with Pink Cookie Icing and then drag out the edges. This kind of creates a sewn patch work effect.

Let the pink icing dry. Next, draw little hearts using a toothpick and red icing. To make the heart shape, draw a thin “V” and then pull the icing into a heart shape. (You can also use the toothpick to make polka dots!)

Make a waterfall effect! First, cover your cookie in Cookie Icing. Next, draw horizontal lines across your cookie.

Using a toothpick, lightly drag down evenly spaced vertical lines and your pattern will appear!

TIP: Let the cookie icing dry at least 1 hour before serving.

Enjoy! We would love to see a picture of your finished cookies! Share with us on Facebook.com/ScribbleShop

Whether you’re looking for something sweet for your loved one, or trying to create a unique snack to bring to a party, these tasty Linzer Heart Tarts will be the perfect treat from you!

To make this treat, you will need:

For the recipe, you will need:

To make,  mix flour and salt in a medium bow. In a seperate large bowl, beat butter with a mixer until smooth. Add sugar and again beat until smooth. Beat in Vanilla Extract. Slowly add the flour/salt mix to the butter/sugar mix.  If you feel your mix is too dry, add the 1/4 cup of water.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough so that it is about 1/4″ thick. Using the large heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many heart shapes as your dough will allow.

Place the hear shapes onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Using the small heart shaped cookie cutter, again press the cookie cutter into the center of the heart shape. It is easiest to do this step once the large heart shape is already on the parchment paper. If the small heart shape does not lift out with the cookie cutter, simply use a toothpick to help you lift it out. Refrigerate cookies on the cookie sheet for 20 minutes. This will help the cookies keep their shape while baking.

Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cookies should be light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Lay out your cookies onto parchment paper. Using additional powdered confectioners sugar, lightly dust the hearth shape with the center cut out. Cover the whole heart shape with a layer of raspberry Jam.

Place the powdered cookie on top of the cookie with jam and press down lightly.

Plate your cookies and present!

Enjoy!
