Hogs and Kisses Cookies

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I love you all so much that I wanted to send you some “Hogs and Kisses” so without further ado Meet Porky and Petunia. They were inspired by clip art from and I couldn’t wait to make them because they’re so cute. As soon as I saw the clip art I knew they’d be among my favorite Valentine’s Day cookies!

  • I wasn’t sure what cookie cutter I needed to use to make these hog cookies, but when I started looking I found exactly what I was looking for. While I was looking at this rabbit cutter, all I could see was a skinny pig because of the way its arms are shaped. If you don’t have this cutter and would like to purchase it, you can find it here at Country Kitchen Sweetart.

  • Before you start piping the outline for the pigs, draw the ears on the cookie with a food-safe marker so they’ll all look about the same. Sometimes piping them makes it difficult for them to look the same, but be sure to use a light color so the marker won’t bleed into the icing.

  • Are you ready to decorate because it’s time to outline the pigs and then flood the body.
  • Let it dry for about 10 minutes before you flood the arms and legs because this will give the limbs separation.
  • Next, pipe a pink oval for the nose and add two small oval dots with a darker color of pink icing. Or wait until the icing dries and add two small ovals with a pink food safe marker.
  • Let the cookie dry for a few hours before you add the final touches.

  • This next part is fun because we get to paint the hands and feet with black food gel.

  • Mix a small amount of gel color with a little vodka and paint the tips of the feet and hands.

  • Use a smaller detail brush to paint the eyes, but don’t forget to add a few eyelashes for the girl.

  • Next, paint the mouth and glue Petunia’s flower on her head because all the girl pigs need a flower.

  • I think these would be a good set of cookies to take to a BBQ because everyone is expecting pork.
