Heart Cookies with Ribbon Roses

Remember the other day when I told you I made like a million little ribbon roses?  Well, as I was looking at Pinterest the other day, I saw this image by It All Started with Paint and was totally inspired. It didn’t take me long at all to decide to make these heart cookies because here wreath was so beautiful. The best part is I knew they were going to be simple to make. So simple that I am almost embarrassed to do a tutorial on them. Really! They are that easy.

Heart Cookies with Ribbon Roses by www.thebearfootbaker.comBegin by baking up a batch of sugar cookies, chocolate roll out cookies, or gingerbread cookies. I think the dark color of the chocolate or gingerbread cookies would be beautiful with the white and red royal icing. I wish I would have thought of it sooner.

Then, outline and flood the cookies with the white icing. Be careful not to over flood them because when you add the ribbon roses it could cause the icing to run over the edge.

I decided to throw caution to the wind and just made it work. As you can see in the picture below, some roses are closer then others. I bet no one would have noticed unless I pointed it out.
