Valentine Mug Cookies

Pin It

I had fun experimenting with this recipe.  I saw in a magazine somewhere a cookie that was perched on a mug of hot chocolate.  Apparently, there is a special cookie cutter that you can buy to make these, but I did it very easily on my own. 

Make some sugar cookies- my favorite recipe is below. 

Roll out the dough and cut into heart shapes. 

Bake the cookies.  Just out of the oven, cut a little slit out of the cookie.  I tried doing it before, but they all grew back together while baking.  You have to be very careful not to crack the cookie. 

Cool and decorate.  I used some store-bought poured cookie icing. It hardens.  



Put your cookies on a mug of milk or hot chocolate to enjoy.  Dip - for best results!
