Valentine Heart Cookies

Ok......let's talk about spiders. Yes SPIDERS.  I'm so afraid of spiders it isn't funny.

I'm constantly looking out for those eight legged creatures.

Well last night I'm in the shower getting ready to wash my hair and  I give the shower a look over for spiders......a few times.

 NONE.....this is always a GREAT thing.

Then it comes time to pick up my scrunchy body washy thingie.....you know what I'm talking about,  and you have some crazy name for it too.

ANYWAY, it occurs to me that a big spider could be nestled up in that sucker somewhere.

NO WORRIES.....it was spider free.

However, I'm becoming more aware that I've got a spider problem. I swear it must have taken me fifteen more minutes to take a shower because of my mad spider search.

No, Seriously I lost fifteen whole minutes of my dull life looking for spiders when I could have used that fifteen minutes to cookie.....or finally fold that laundry. But I did my search anyway......as always.

And yes......I shake out the towel before using it. There could be one of those nasty things in their hiding...waiting to pounce on me.

I've got major issues. I admit it. That's the first step right?

I NEED HELP.

Alrighty, lets get on with the cookies. That's really what you're here for and not to hear me babble about my psychological issues.

So happy sweet love thoughts right?

Thoughts of Love, Hearts, roses.....Valentine's Day cookies.

I Heart U cookies

Oh My Goodness......Skyrim is the DEVIL.  Seriously.

For those of you who know about the video game called Skyrim, you know it is addicting and your husband, like mine is glued to the sofa playing that darn game he got for Christmas.

I asked my husband to take the blow up Santa down like four days ago. First he said it was a bit wet and needed to dry out because it was deflated and it had rained. UMMMMMM that was four days ago now.

Please get off the sofa!

I did say please. I really meant MOVE NOW!

But no.....he sat, staring at his 70 in 3d tv playing that dumb game! My Santa is still going strong in the front yard. Maybe he can stay there until next year? A little tacky yard decoration won't hurt....will it?

Then my husband thinks he's slick when he asks me to sit and watch him play because.......wait for it.....wait for it......so I can make Skyrim cookies. He goes on to say I can make swords, helmets, and ......I cut him off at helmets. He's a bit delusional.

At least I have my cookies....right?

Well I still love him but no Skyrim cookies for him. Nope, he will get valentines cookies.

I love you cookies is all he will get. I had to make these to remind me that yes I love you honey......

even though I'm sick of seeing you play that game.

These were so easy to make. A beginner can make these easily.

First outline letters in pink royal icing using a #2 tip. Let dry about 30 minutes.

Next fill letters with pink 20 second royal icing and allow to dry for a few hours.

Outline heart with red royal icing and let dry 30 min.

Then fill red heart with red 20 second icing. Allow to dry over night.

When letters are dry you can leave as shown here or you can add some stripes or dots as shown at top of post.
