Last year I made conversation heart mini cakes (idea from Martha), and this year, I decided to make mini conversation heart cookies. I have no doubt it's been done many...many times before, it's not revolutionary, but it's super cute. I love conversation hearts!
I found this mini cookie cutter (Wilton sales a similar size) and baked up some sugar cookies.
I dyed my icing six colors, using small ramekins...it didn't take a lot of icing (I reserved most of it for pink, which I later dyed a deeper pink for piping. I piped on my colors with a ziplock so it was neater. I added 1 T of karo for each cup of icing so it hardens (sorry to be a broken record, but it's the best tip I was given years ago).
There are a ton of cute, free, printable online, and I found this little pillow box at Good Gravy to house my cookies for distribution.

@ TT-I sent you the link, let me know if you have any trouble opening it!
ReplyDelete@ Rhonda-I put NO MORE than 1 T. of karo syrup per cup, but usually it's more like 1-2 per 2-3 cups. The more, you add, the harder it gets...faster. :O)
so cute! My kids would gobble these up in seconds!
