Treat family, friends and coworkers
to something they will all
love this Valentine’s Day by making
easy and impressive cookies. Start
with your favorite roll-out cookie
recipe or simply dress up storebought
ones by adding some simple
details with icing.
From the cupids at Wilton, here
are three ways to leave them smitten
with sweets this Valentine’s
Day:
• Desserts with dimension. Triple
Show off your
sweet side this
Valentine’s Day
your treats by stacking three
decorated cookies in different
sizes together and attach them
with icing.
• Complement with color. A simple
piping technique looks stunning
when piped in different colors on
your cookies.
• Get to gifting. Wrap your finished
treats in a Valentine’s Day
treat bag or box.
