Ingredients
- 1 package heart-shaped cookies
- 1 cup pink frosting
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: heart-shaped cookies, pink frosting, and decorative sprinkles.
- Remove the heart-shaped cookies from their package and place them on a clean, flat surface like a baking sheet or large cutting board.
- Allow the cookies to come to room temperature if they have been refrigerated, which will help the frosting adhere more smoothly.
- Open the pink frosting container and use a butter knife or offset spatula to spread a generous, even layer of frosting on each heart-shaped cookie.
- Ensure the frosting covers the entire surface of the cookie, creating a smooth and uniform layer.
- Immediately after frosting each cookie, sprinkle decorative Valentine's Day themed sprinkles over the pink frosting while it's still soft.
- Gently press the sprinkles into the frosting to help them stick and create a festive, textured appearance.
- Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to let the frosting set slightly.
- Arrange the decorated heart cookies on a serving platter or individual dessert plates for a romantic presentation.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Cookies: Allow your heart-shaped cookies to come to room temperature before frosting. This helps the frosting spread smoothly and adhere better.
- Even Frosting: Use a butter knife or offset spatula to apply the frosting evenly. A generous layer will not only look beautiful but also taste delicious!
- Sprinkle While Soft: To ensure the sprinkles stick, add them immediately after frosting each cookie while the frosting is still soft.
- Press Gently: Lightly press the sprinkles into the frosting to create a textured look and help them adhere.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange your decorated cookies on a beautiful platter or individual plates for an eye-catching presentation that will impress your guests.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep them fresh.
