Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
You know I love any excuse to decorate some cute sugar cookies and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Back in grade school Valentine’s Day meant filling out Valentine’s cards for classmates and eating ungodly amounts of conversation hearts. They were the “it” Valentine candy. Would a boy give you one that said “Cutie”, “Be Mine” or “Let’s Kiss”? It was anyone’s guess and 10-year old girls’ hearts were aflutter with all the possibilities that the day could bring. Fast forward a couple of decades and I decided a throwback was in order.
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and decorated with royal icing (see links for both below under ‘Resources’). I stuck with some of the classic phrases, although forgot on some of them that the words are usually always stacked. Oops! Some details on the tips I used:

My Valentine more than approved of these cookies :)
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day holiday and enjoy some extra-special love and attention today!

What did you all use to do the writing with. Did you use royal icing. I did and it was all runny. I love the red lettering you used how did you do that? I just can’t figure it out
Hi Tonya, I did use royal icing. Just make sure that you get the consistency right!
Has anyone actually eaten these and tried them?
FYI: Your beautiful heart sugar cookie image is being used to sell products on Etsy. Store is Mariescookiesandmore and can be found at https://www.etsy.com/listing/122215718/sugar-cookies?ref=shop_home_active
I thought you could contact the store owner or Etsy to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Way better than the candies!
Decorating cookies like that takes some serious talent! Great job :-)
I really REALLY wish my cookies came out like this!!! I used your recipe and tips to make the football jersey cookies with royal icing for a Super Bowl party…and I definitely think it’s going to take more practice. Everyone loved the cookies but they looked like they were iced by a child, haha. Practice makes perfect I suppose…absolutely beautiful cookies!
Aw! These are so sweet. Wish I had such a steady hand with the icing! Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day.
You’re bringing new to old school – love it!
Wonderful!
Your icing decorating is perfect! Very nice!
