We can’t make Valentine’s Day heart sugar cookies without cute little sayings on top!
I’d actually like to take this moment to apologize for how horrendous my piped writing is. I have zero talent writing on cookies and cakes. Zero zip zilch. Pen and paper, great! But once icing is involved, my hands lose control, get all floppy, and chicken scratch ensues!
Speaking of writing, one of the best parts of Valentine’s Day is reading all the writing on conversation hearts. Right? I get a KICK reading these things. Wicked cool, txt me, QT pie, fax me… I even saw a “giggle” and “sugar pie” in a bag recently. And the mustache!! Thank you for all the entertainment, Brach’s!
Let’s jump right into the cookies.
Today’s conversation heart lookalike cookies are a sugar cookie, pastel royal icing on top, and writing. I stuck with the shortest possible sayings and words because, well… you know my struggle.
We’re using royal icing for today’s sugar cookie decoration, but you can absolutely use buttercream like we do for these shamrock cookies.
Tools You Need:
- Americolor Soft Gel Paste Color Kit. In my experience, this is the BEST coloring for royal icing. The color is rich and vivid. You only need a teeny drip for the pastel colors in today’s cookies. And for darker colors, 1 small drop. So these colors will last you a very long time! I used the yellow, deep pink color, violet, green, and orange. Red for the writing.
- Round Icing Tip #5. I use this for piping the royal icing on top of each cookie.
- Round Icing Tip #1. I use this teeny tip for the writing.
- Disposable piping bags. For the piping, of course!
- You’ll also need silicone baking mats, rolling pin, and a heart-shaped cookie cutter. You can use the same cookie cutter for these raspberry sugar cookies, too.
We’re using my trusty sugar cookies as the starting point.
The cookies are soft and buttery with crisp edges. The dough holds its shape wonderfully in the oven. Sharp and precise; no misshapen hearts!
The most important part, like usual, is to chill the cookie dough. This ensures the cookies hold their shape. The unique part about this sugar cookie recipe is that you chill the cookie dough *after* rolling it out. After the cookie dough is prepared, divide in two, and roll out each portion. My little trick? Roll out your sugar cookie dough onto lightly floured silicone baking mats. The mats won’t slide around. Then use the mats for baking the cookies.
Some *short* conversation heart saying inspiration:
- BFF
- Love
- Kiss
- Hugs
- Xoxo
- Best
- Sweet
- Cute or cutie
I’m sure you can come up with more and that your writing will be beautiful!

Description
These decorated Valentine’s Day heart sugar cookies resemble conversation heart candies- so delicious and fun for the holiday!
- 2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- optional for added flavor: 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Royal Icing
- 4 cups (480g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 3 Tablespoons meringue powder
- 9–10 Tablespoons room temperature water
- Americolor Soft Gel Paste Color Kit for coloring
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. If the dough seems too soft, you can add 1 Tablespoon more flour so it’s a better consistency for rolling.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each portion out onto a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured silicone baking mat (I prefer the nonstick silicone mat) to about 1/4″ thickness. The rolled-out dough can be any shape, as long as it is evenly ¼-inch thick.
- Stack the pieces, with parchment paper between the two, onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours and up to 2 days. If chilling for more than a couple hours, cover the top dough piece with a single piece of parchment paper.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Remove one of the dough pieces from the refrigerator and using a heart cookie cutter, cut into heart shapes. Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all is used. Repeat with 2nd dough piece.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Make sure you rotate the baking sheet halfway through bake time. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
- Make the icing: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat all of the icing ingredients together on high speed for 5 minutes.
When lifting the whisk up off the icing, the icing should drizzle down and smooth out within 10-12 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a little more water. (On particularly dry days, I use up to 12-14 Tablespoons water total.) If it’s too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners’ sugar. Separate icing into 6 different bowls. Stir in 1 tiny drop of the following colors into each bowl, 1 color per bowl: pink, violet, green, yellow, and orange. The 6th bowl is for the writing. Use 2-3 drops of red. - Add icing to piping bag fitted with round icing tip #5. Decorate cookies with colored icing. Use round icing tip #1 for writing. Do not cover cookies as icing sets. Icing will set within 2-3 hours.
- Decorated or plain cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Freezing Instructions: Plain or decorated sugar cookies freeze well up to 3 months. Wait for the icing to set completely before layering between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-friendly container. To thaw, thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature. You can also freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months before rolling it out. Prepare the dough through step 3, divide in half, flatten both halves into a disk as we do with pie crust, wrap each in plastic wrap, then freeze. To thaw, thaw the disks in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature for about 1 hour. Roll out the dough as directed in step 4, then chill rolled out dough in the refrigerator for 45 minutes – 1 hour before cutting into shapes and baking.
- Easy Glaze: Instead of this royal icing, you can use my easy cookie icing if that’s easier for you. However, I find it nearly impossible to write with the glaze icing because it isn’t stable like royal icing.

Cookies for Valentine's Day - cute hearts with your own hands
Cookies for Valentine's Day Shall we cook? I want to share with you a very simple and completely accessible idea of \u200b\u200bcute "valentines" - edible hearts that you can make with your own hands. You probably have a recipe for your favorite homemade cookies that the whole family likes - here you can take it as a basis. If there is no recipe, take mine - it has been tested for decades, beautiful and successful. In general, I don’t even know what to tell: cookies for Valentine's Day - this is such an improvisation on a given topic, nothing more.
The text under the cut is at least, I tried to make more photos. It's beautiful! And about love.
Two friends are talking:
— The mood is disgusting. There is no desire to celebrate Valentine's Day, or prepare surprises, or go to a restaurant - there is no appetite at all.
- Well, I'll help you with the last one. Decide for yourself: "That's it, I'm on a diet!", and immediately your appetite will appear. Checked multiple times.
Valentine's Day cookies don't bring you anything positive because you don't like this holiday? I'll tell you a secret, I don't understand him either. But I try to please loved ones with sweets. And you try, it won't hurt.
Biscuit ingredients:
200 g butter;
1 egg;
2.5 cups flour;
1 glass of sugar;
1/3 tsp salt.
Ingredients for glaze:
200 g icing sugar;
40 g egg white;
food coloring optional.
You will also need paper and ribbons.
Cut butter at room temperature into several pieces for convenience.
Transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
I leave the whites for glaze, so instead of one egg I add two yolks to the dough. If you don't plan on playing with icing, use a whole egg.
Add sugar, salt. At the same stage, if desired, vanillin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, lemon or orange zest can be added to the dough.
Stir.
And start adding flour. The amount indicated in the recipe is indicative. You may need a little more or a little less flour, depending on the fat content of the butter, the size of the eggs, the moisture content of the flour, and a dozen other factors.
Better, but obviously not enough.
Simple test: touch the dough with your fingers. If the dough remains on the skin, then there is catastrophically little flour.
But this already looks like what should happen in the end: the dough is shiny, almost does not stick to the walls of the bowl.
And yes, it does not leave marks on the hand when touched.
We take a small amount of dough, roll it into a layer up to 4 mm thick.
Cut out hearts (of course, hearts!).
Carefully place them on a baking sheet.
Bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 15 minutes - do not overdo it, the cookies burn very quickly.
If you are in the mood for Valentine's decor, after transferring the cookies to the baking sheet, use a cocktail straw to make 2 small holes in the center of each cookie. And bake the same.
Already at this stage, the cookies are amazingly delicious! It is very difficult to keep from not eating a couple of things.
But the frosting is waiting for us! Mix the protein lightly with a fork.
Add powdered sugar.
Stir.
Don't forget about the dye.
Cut squares from regular parchment paper.
Place a small amount of glaze on the corner of the square.
And wrap the paper with a cornet.
Cut off a small piece of paper on the corner, pressing evenly on the cornet, decorate the cookies.
Done.
Is it beauty?
Will you argue?
It remains to inscribe "nominal" notes.
And attach them to the liver.
So...
Or so.
Have a good mood and, of course, a lot of love!
P.S. Cookies for Valentine's Day are made on the basis of ordinary butter cookies, the recipe of which is described in detail here.
Cookies for Valentine's Day. Festive Sugar Free Cookies
1. First, we prepare all the necessary products.
2. Next, separate the egg into yolk and protein. The yolk goes into the dough, and the protein into the glaze.
3. Add sugar to the yolk and mix well with a whisk.
Sugar should be completely dissolved in the yolk.
4. Then add slightly warmed honey and add vanillin. We mix.
5. Then add sour cream and salt.
6. Also add room temperature butter. Mix everything well until smooth.
7. Now add baking powder and sifted wheat flour.
8. Knead a soft, elastic, tender dough. If there is not enough flour, you can add a little more, the cookie dough should not be liquid.
9. We roll it into a ball, wrap it in cling film or just put the bag and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
10. Valentine cookies for Valentine's Day should be bright, colorful, beautiful. Glaze will help us decorate pastries the way we want it. To prepare it, we take 150 grams of powdered sugar and egg white.
11. Mix them and beat with a mixer. It will take 6-8 minutes to beat.
12. At the end of whipping, for about one minute, add citric acid at the tip of a knife.
The result should be a smooth, glossy mass.
13. Divide the glaze into two unequal parts. You can divide it into equal parts, it all depends on how you will decorate your cookies.
14. In most of the glaze, add a dye (in my case, raspberry), you can take any other at your discretion.
15. Stir the icing well with the dye. The icing is ready, remove it for now to the side, just be sure to cover with cling film. The frosting dries very, very quickly.
16. In the meantime, the dough has cooled down, take it out of the refrigerator. For ease of rolling, we divide it into several parts. Then we roll each part into a layer 0.5 cm thick.
17. Now cut out cookies with special heart-shaped molds.
18. Place the valentines on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. And we send it to bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
19. Our pastries are ready. We take it out of the oven and let it cool.
20. You can then decorate the cookies however you like. The icing is applied first along the contour of the cookie, and then the middle is filled. Further decoration will tell your imagination. Enjoy your meal!
What a pleasure to sit with, crunching freshly baked cookies! And homemade, not boring crackers from the supermarket. Don't know how to bake? No problem!
Try making heart cookies, their recipe is so simple that even a novice housewife can do it.
Knead, roll, cut, bake - and on the table! And you can do without an oven - but first things first. Let's start with the usual shortbread cookies.
Sand classic
The recipe for a simple shortcrust pastry is really lighter than easy: butter, flour, a little sugar and a little bit of salt. All! By the way, it is quite possible to do without sugar - and rightly so: why do we need extra calories? Before baking, sprinkle the cookies with grated cheese or salt with caraway seeds - you will get an excellent snack for beer.
But we are not talking about beer, but about coffee and cocoa with tea. So the topping will be sweet.
Ingredients
Method of preparation
- Soften the butter slightly and knead well with sugar (if you want a sweet cookie) and salt. Then gradually add flour to it.
- Chop the dough with a knife on the board and roll into a "bun". And in the refrigerator.
- Roll out after a couple of hours, cut out hearts with a cookie cutter. Put them on a baking sheet, sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar or - for real coffee lovers - finely ground coffee. After 10-15 minutes, the hearts will become a pleasant golden color - it's time to take them out!
By the way, Heart cookies have many recipe options. For example, mayonnaise. 100 g of mayonnaise and butter, egg, sugar (optional), a glass of flour. The cookies will come out so tender that even the staunch opponents of the "mayanesic" will not be able to resist!
This recipe is more difficult.
But the result is worthy of a festive table! Yes, the calories are high. But you won’t “hamster” him with kilograms, will you? And if occasionally, then for the sake of such deliciousness, even ardent diet fans will slightly violate “food discipline”.

Slimming & Vegan
Adhere to the principle "I do not eat anyone"? Are you guided by the strict canons of religious fasts? Or, following more "earthly" motives, are you trying to get rid of extra kilos? This is not a reason to give up baking. Lenten recipe - especially for you! No butter with sour cream, no eggs - only vegetable products. And the calorie content is not very high. Cute orange crunchy hearts: no one will guess that the base of the dough is tomato juice!
Ingredients
The recipe is very simple, and the products for it can be found even in the kitchen of an inveterate bachelor (or bachelorette).
For the dough you will need:
How to prepare
- Mix tomato juice with vegetable oil, add sugar and soda.
Then flour. - Soft dough should be rolled out in a layer of about half a centimeter, cut out hearts with a cookie cutter and baked. In 15 minutes, the orange vegetarian miracle will be ready!
Be sure: your vegan friends will not refuse such a treat, and your always losing weight friend will definitely ask for the recipe!
For those who are not oven friendly
And finally - a recipe for which the oven is not needed. It will be replaced by a waffle iron. The dough for such hearts is prepared a little differently - it is quite liquid. You will have to beat a lot - a mixer will help you.

Earlier we already wrote that this year we don’t want to postpone anything until the last day, so we start preparing for Valentine’s Day now 🙂 If you don’t know what to give your soul mate, parents or friends for Valentine’s Day, then these simple recipes cookies for you!
The first recipe is cookies with raspberry filling (you can take any of your favorite fillings, even apricot) in the form of hearts.
A very original and simple recipe with a delicious center of raspberry jam!
The second recipe is heart-shaped cookies with creamy icing and confectionery powder. In such a delicious gift, you can embody all your fantasies of decorating cookies.
The third recipe is heart-shaped chocolate biscuits decorated with royal icing. It is better to start making such cookies 2-3 days before the holiday itself, so that the icing has time to dry.
The fourth recipe is colored gingerbread cookies in the form of hearts and bears. Probably the easiest recipe since the cookies do not need to be decorated with any type of icing. The secret is that you simply color one part of the dough with red food coloring.
Which cookie recipe did you like best? Will you be making sweet gifts for Valentine's Day? We definitely do! 🙂
We wish you a pleasant viewing of recipes and a good celebration of Valentine's Day!

Ingredients for 20 heart-shaped cookies with raspberry filling for Valentine's Day:
For Valentine's Day raspberry heart cookie dough:
Wheat flour - 2 and 1/4 cups
Ground cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp.
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp.
Chopped almonds or flaked almonds - 95 g
Brown or cane sugar - 1/4 tbsp.
Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
Softened butter - 230 g
Large egg - 1 pc.
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp.
Almond extract (optional) - 1/4 tsp.
For filling and decorating heart cookies with raspberry filling for Valentine's Day:
Pitted Raspberry or Strawberry Jam (recipe here) - 230g
Icing sugar for dusting
How to make Valentine's Day cookies with raspberry or strawberry filling:
1. Cooking dough for cookies in the form of hearts for Valentine's Day. In a large bowl, sift wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add salt and mix everything until a homogeneous dry mixture with a whisk or a wooden spatula.
2. In a food processor or blender, grind the almonds with cane (brown) sugar until fine crumbs. The consistency should be similar to flour, do not overdo it, otherwise the almonds will start to secrete oil and you will not get almond flour, but almond butter 🙂
3.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, beat the soft butter with the icing sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Then increase to maximum speed and beat for about 1 minute more.
4. In the creamy previous mass, beat the egg and add vanilla extract and almond extract, if desired. Mix until smooth and begin to gradually add chopped almonds with cane sugar. Whip at low speed.
5. Next, add the remaining dry ingredients in the form of flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Beat again with a mixer at low speed with dough attachments or knead the dough for heart-shaped cookies in a food processor.
6. Shape the resulting Valentine's Day cookie dough into a ball and wrap it in cling film. Then we press it with our hand to make a disk, 15.5 cm in size. If necessary, wrap it again with a film and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
7. We set the oven to heat up to 180C, when the dough has stood in the refrigerator for the right time.
Line baking sheets with baking paper or parchment. We clean it to the sides so that they do not interfere with us.
8. Sprinkle the work surface with flour. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into two parts. Roll out each piece of dough into a circle or rectangle, 3-4 mm thick. We cut the dough in the form of hearts for cookies for Valentine's Day. You can use not a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but a template from the Internet, which can be found on Google.
9. Divide an equal number of hearts into whole and with a hole inside, which can be made using a smaller mold or template. If you are reading this recipe not on the Delicious Recipes website, but in another social group, then it was brazenly stolen without even reading it. Cut out the dough using a sharp knife or cutter.
10. Carefully transfer the biscuit slices to the trays. You can carry cookies with a knife. We lay out the cookies in the form of hearts for Valentine's Day at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other.
11. Send to bake in a preheated oven to 180C for 10-12 minutes. Bake until golden brown on the edges of the cookies in the form of hearts. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking sheet for about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a metal wire rack or a cold baking sheet until completely cooled.
12. Decorate cookies for Valentine's Day. Dust the heart halves with holes with powdered sugar. Lubricate each whole heart with raspberry or strawberry pitted jam. We cover with the second half with a hole and fasten the cookies. Serve to the table, bon appetit! 🙂
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

How to make heart-shaped biscuits for Valentine's Day decorated with royal icing
1. Cooking dough for chocolate heart-shaped bagels for Valentine's Day. Mix the egg, icing sugar and butter until fluffy and frothy.
Sift flour and cocoa on top of this mixture. Beat until a homogeneous smooth and shiny dough, without impurities of flour lumps.
2. Wrap the resulting chocolate chip cookie dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and freeze for 30 minutes to cool the dough a little and not be so sticky.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease baking sheets with butter or cover with parchment or baking paper. Let's put it aside for now.
4. Once you have checked that the dough has cooled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or an hour, take it out of the refrigerator. If you are not reading this recipe on the site Delicious Recipes, then it was stolen without even reading it. Sprinkle the working surface lightly with flour and roll out 5-6 mm thick.
5. Cut out hearts from the chocolate dough as in the first recipe with holes. Transfer to baking sheets with parchment and send to the oven for 5-7 minutes. Cooking time may vary, as the power of the oven is different for everyone.
Be careful not to burn the thin chocolate biscuits!
6. Remove the heart-shaped chocolate biscuits from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes, and then on the wire rack. Thus, we do with the rest of the test.
7. Preparing the royal icing for heart-shaped bagels for Valentine's Day. In the bowl of a mixer or with a conventional hand mixer, beat the egg white to soft peaks, then gradually add the powdered sugar and lemon juice. We continue to beat. The result should be a uniform, smooth and shiny glaze.
8. Color a small portion of the royal icing on the cookies with red food coloring. Stir well with a whisk or mixer to get a rich red color.
9. Decorate cookies for Valentine's Day with royal icing. For detailed instructions on decorating cookies with icing, you can see Making the outline of all cookies for Valentine's Day with royal icing, as shown in the figure. Such a contour can be made using zip bags. Leave to dry for 30 or 40 minutes depending on the humidity in your home (see photo #1).
10. We apply the second layer of royal icing, denser inside the red, which must be dry, otherwise the icing will “flow”. Immediately add the red dots of frosting using a zip bag until the white frosting is set (Pic 2 and 3).
11. After 30 seconds, when the red dots of the icing have settled, take a toothpick and from the top center of the heart cookie with white icing, draw a line to the second dot (photo 4). Similarly, we do with all the remaining points as shown in photos 5 and 6. Leave to dry for 8-10 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Serve Valentine's Day cookies with royal icing and treat your loved ones! 🙂
