Valentine’s Day Sweet Tart Cookies

    Valentines+Day+Sweet+Tart+Cookies

    By Caleigh Sturgeon, Managing Web Editor

    Ingredients:
    -Sugar cookie dough
    -Pink, yellow, green and blue icing
    -Draw-on edible markers

    Shaping the cookies:

    (1) Once you’ve made your sugar cookie dough, roll it out with a rolling pin until it is about ½ inch thick.

    (2) You can make a heart-shaped cookie cutter with a sheet of tin foil. First, fold it in half over and over again until you get an inch-wide folded strip of tin foil. Then shape this strip into a heart and tape the ends together with a clean piece of tape.

    (3) Cut out the heart-shaped sections of dough and bake your sugar cookies!

    Decorating:

    (1) Spread pink, yellow, green and blue icing over the entirety of the surface of your heart-shaped cookies.

    (2) Let dry for 20 minutes.

    (3) Use edible icing pens (I used Betty Crocker Easy Writer Food Decorators, available at ACME) to write Sweet Tart-esque Valentine’s Day messages in block letters.
