I love making treats for the kids to take into school for their class parties. And, I have to say these Valentine’s cookies with smiley emoji heart eyes were a huge hit! Check out my Valentine’s Cookies recipe below for some fun!
Before you decorate, ensure that all of your cookies are cool to touch.
Roll out your yellow fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
With the same cookie cutter you used for your cookies, cut out 12 circles.
Press a yellow fondant piece on each cookie.
Roll out your black fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
With a circle cookie cutter about 1 inch in diameter, cut out 6 pieces.
Using a butterknife, cut off 2 pieces from each black circle, each with a rounded edge. These will act as your cookie’s smiles.
Press one fondant smile onto each cookie.
Using Wilton tip #5, frost out two hearts with your red decorating frosting. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure your cookies are fully cooled before decorating—this keeps the fondant from melting and ensures your designs stay neat.Use a clean, sharp knife to cut the fondant for perfect edges—precision is key for those adorable heart eyes and smiles.Have fun with the emojis! Mix it up by creating different facial expressions and using bright colors for a playful twist!
