If you’ve never iced cookies before you’ll want to do a bit of researching how to make the right consistency of icing – I recommend this video by Flour Box Bakery on how to make your icing, and this video on how the basics of using piping and flooding techniques. That means, it’s watered down enough that it will settle on your cookie to make that nice flat iced surface.

Now, to ice the cookies…I used all wet-on-wet icing techniques for my heart shaped cookies, and it was really pretty easy! Since I wasn’t doing any detailed piping, I made all of my icing flood consistency. I just like splitting it all up to lessen the workload and make the decorating more enjoyable for myself! Day 4 – decorate! Of course, you can pause and freeze after Day 1 OR Day 2, and you could certainly combine any of the steps and even do them all in one day if you really wanted to. That way, when I sit down to decorate later that day or the next day, it’s in a nice clean kitchen and I’m able to enjoy the process rather than get stressed and anxious about the big mess I’ve made! -) So, to recap…Day 1 – make dough. (If you made a single batch of cookies you could probably get away with a single batch of icing.) Once it’s made, I color each portion, load them into my decorating bags and squeeze bottles, put them in the fridge, and clean up the mess. I always double the cookie dough recipe so I double the icing recipe, too, to make sure I have enough for all my cookies. Making the icing isn’t difficult, but it can get messy since you’ll need a lot of bowls and decorating bags and things, so I usually try to do that the day before I’m ready to decorate. That’s what I did with my Christmas cookies – I did several batches in late November and early December and froze them all until I was ready to decorate them the week before Christmas. After the cookies are baked, you can store them in an airtight container, or you can freeze them! Sugar cookies freezer really well. If I’m doing a double batch, that usually takes me about 2 hours, including clean up. That’s a bit more time consuming since you have to roll, cut, and bake them tray by tray. A day or two after I’ve made the cookie dough I’ll do the baking. It keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days (or you could even freeze it!) so plan accordingly. The first day, I make the dough – it only takes me about 20 minutes, and then I pop it in the fridge. Now, when I bake and decorate sugar cookies, I always spread out the work.

Even solid colored heart cookies would be pretty! I am NOT a professional baker…I wouldn’t even consider myself an amateur baker…so take all my advice with a grain of salt. If you’ve never made decorated sugar cookies like this before, heart shaped cookies are a GREAT way to start. Have you heard of “Galentine’s Day?” From what I understand, it’s basically a reason to get together with your girlfriends and celebrate Valentine’s Day together with just the girls – no boys allowed! An extra excuse for girl’s night? That’s something I can get on board with! Yesterday I shared with you some fun free printable Valentine’s Day treat bag tags…but today I want to show you what I did with some of my Valentine’s Day decorated sugar cookies to make some extra-special treats for some extra-special gals in my life! Instead of making all regular sugar cookies, I put some of them on cake pop sticks and turned them into “cookie pops” to make Valentine’s Day cookie bouquets!
