Love Bites Cookies

Valentine's Day......

Let's face it, it's not for single people.  It's a holiday all about love.

When I was single I hated Valentine's day. It was the most dreaded holiday. Everyone was talking about love, getting candy, flowers, jewelry....you name it.

Leaves a single gal feeling quite ALONE!

When your single LOVE BITES! Big time!

So I thought I would make some cookies for those of you out there that are single and feel that love does bite. Or maybe some of you just don't like Valentine's day. After all it is all about mushy gushy love stuff.

Roll out cookie dough and cut with a heart shaped cookie cutter.

 Next take a scalloped edged heart and cut a "bite" from the side of the heart.

 Remove tiny piece of dough. You will not need this. Bake your cookies at 375˚ for 10-12 min.

 Next outline your cookie with red royal icing and a #2 tip. Allow to dry for about 15-30 minutes.

 Next with red flood icing, start filling in the cookie.

 After the heart is completely filled, be sure to pop any air bubbles with a toothpick or this

yellow stick

. Let cookie dry overnight. 

When cookie is completely dry, using a #1.5 PME tip and white royal icing, pipe LOVE BITES on the cookie. I use stiffer royal icing for this step so the letters don't run.

You could fit the entire words on the cookie or you could have it so that the "S" looks like 

it was bitten off.  After the words are piped, let dry for a few hours.

 If you wanted a cute idea for a boy's valentine's, You can add a crocodile cookie.

Wanna know how to make the Crocodile? Come back tomorrow and I'll have a tutorial on how to make him. He's really easy to make. 

I Love you cookies

Yippie! My tv programs are off of their holiday break!

In my opinion they really didn't need a break. I didn't get one....and my life is certainly a lot happier when I have my tv programs to watch.

Seriously, this entire time of "their break" I lost out on quality education.

I didn't get to finish up my medical education (Grey's Anatomy)

I didn't learn how to be the perfect housewife (Desperate Housewives) ....by the way, Bree is my idol!

I forgot useful tips on WHAT NOT TO DO if I so choose to murder someone. (CSI Las Vegas & Miami)

And I really wanted to brush up on what to do if I ever encounter an Original (Vampire Diaries)

and I forgot how funny it was when someone JUST GOT LICKED (Lizard Licked)

See....life isn't the same without your television programs. Keep in mind I have to record EVERYTHING on the DVR because EVERY television in the house is being taken over by someone else.

I know these people were taught how to SHARE......because ummmm DUH I'm the mother of them...well all but one....and He's married to me and not seeing me make pouty faces should be enough for him to share the tv, but apparently it's not. Video games win.

I'd even be happy if he was a football watching husband because well, I LOVE to watch the Saints play, but no I can watch him slay dragons, the undead, and many other weird idontevenknowwhattheyare things.  Real educational stuff.

See my programs are educational (see above list) and theirs are not! So why is it that I get less tv time than anyone? Go figure. It is what it is. At least I have you guys to talk to.....and my cookies.

I love them, even if they are all greedy.

So....I made them I love you cookies. In different languages.

Hey, I gotta teach them something. Apparently they didn't get the "sharing" lesson.
