'Love Heart' sweets are little candies that come in a roll with loving messages such as 'Be Mine' embossed on them. I saw this idea on Facebook and have recreated them using my vanilla butter cookie and royal icing recipes
Ingredient
Food ration :
32 servingsCooking time :
30 mins
170 g
granulated sugar
1 tbsp
cornflour
2 tsp
vanilla extract
1/2 tsp
baking powder
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cream the margarine and sugar together then beat in the milk and vanilla
* Step 2
Sift in the remaining ingredients and mix to form a dough
* Step 3
Halve the dough and wrap each ball in clingfilm, flattening into discs before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes
* Step 4
Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
* Step 5
Flour a work surface then unwrap the dough. Let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes then roll or pat it out until it's 1/4" thich
* Step 6
Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut as many shapes as you can fit. I used a 3" cutter here. Keep rerolling the dough until you've cut as many shapes as possible. Out of the 2 doughs you should get 30 - 32 hearts or you can keep 1 wrapped dough in the freezer for another day
* Step 7
Put the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden
* Step 8
Let cool on a wire rack while you make the royal icing - see my previously posted recipe for instructions
* Step 9
Split the icing into 3 or 4 bowls and colour it as you wish. Emmy wanted bright pink, Jack wanted 'Kermit' green and Michael wanted blue but pastel colours are the best effect for these!
* Step 10
Ice your cookies as instructed in my Royal Icing recipe and let set for a few hours, 3 - 5 hours is the normal time my icing takes
* Step 11
There are my gift ones in pastel pink for further decoration
* Step 12
Use an edible ink pen or a tube of writing icing to write your Valentines messages on the cookies. Have a cocktail stick handy to move the lines of writing icing into place if you make a mistake
* Step 13
Let set again then give away to the ones you love!
* Step 14
