"You're a Hoot" Valentines Cookies

Whooooo will be my Valentine?

Yeah, I know. Silly aren't I?  Don't you just love silly valentine's sayings? They make me giggle.

It's the simple things in life that make me happy.

Ok that's a lie....SHOES make me happy....and handbags.....and jewelry......and clothes.....

Ya know what, forget what I said about simple things making me happy. I lied.

Great, now I'm a liar and everyone knows. Please still be my friend. I'm lots of fun.....and I make cookies!

So WHOOOO wants to make Owl cookies with me? Sorry couldn't help myself.

Ok really......let's decorate cookies.

Roll out your cookie dough and cut out some circles. Using a leaf cutter make some indentions for the owl's wings. If you are good at doing things free handed then you can skip making the indentions. Bake cookies according to your recipe and allow to cool. 

 After your cookies are baked and cooled. Use a #2 tip and red piping icing to outline wings. 

Fill in wings and let dry about an hour. 

Using a #2 tip and pink piping icing add rows of scallops for feathers and outline owl's body.

Fill in feathers first. Alternate sections and give about 20 min to dry in between. 

Then fill in the rest of the body. You could skip this step and just fill the entire body in pink without the scalloped feathers.

Let cookie dry.

Using a #12 tip and thicker than flood consistency icing, add two big eyes. Then use a #2 tip to add a black dot to the eyes. 

Outline wings in red and scallops in pink.

With a #2 tip add an orange beak and feet.

Let cookie dry completely.

There you have it....a cute owl for whooooever you want to be your valentine.

Valentine's Owl cookies

How cute are these? Other than their jacked up eyes. I should NOT have done them first. Or I could have outlined them.

Everyone seemed to go crazy over owls a while back and I just didn't see the excitement until I made these owl cookies back in October. Then I just loved owls too.

Had to even buy the babies some cute owl jammies.

Well here are some Valentine's Day Owls.

My teenage daughter Miss B and I decided instead of giving out Valentine's cards this year, she would give out Valentine's cookies to all her friends. Isn't that a cute idea?.....although now I've gotta make all the cookies.

And when Miss B decided this.....my three year old Miss P decided she was going to need some for her dance class......FYI there is NO dance class. She pretends to have a class all the time and orders cookies from me. Too funny huh?

Maybe when she gets older she will remember actually being in dancing school and I won't have to actually bring her to one. What do you think? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Now I'm getting the oven heated up for cookies for an imaginary class. Something simple.....maybe imaginary cookies? Just kidding, I couldn't do that to her.

Do your kids do silly things like have imaginary classes? Please tell me she's normal....five kids and this is the first one who has an imaginary something.

You could also make owl cookies with a heart cutter like Sweet Sugarbelle did here and just do them in red and white or pink and white.
