Conversation Confection Cookie-wiches

It's almost Valentines Day!  I am actually not a huge fan of Valentine's with all it's forced sentiment.  I cannot tell you how many years I have observed flocks of frazzled men rushing, the day of, in an attempt to score a counter side bouquet that isn't past it's shelf life.  Five PM on Valentine's Day is like five AM on Black Friday... you are better off at home!  They should have yellow tape around all stores within a 50 yard radius of a florist, sweet shop, or any store providing said items, "Caution: Stampede Zone - Men on a mission - Enter at your own risk."

But, knowing me, I can never resist a good excuse to make cute themed food!  Here is a recipe for you ladies to make from the safety of your own home.  You'll thank me later!

What You Will Need:

Your Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe

Sugar

Vanilla Frosting

A Glass

Conversation Hearts

Sandwiches Baggies

A Hammer

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°

Start by picking out the hearts you like (one's that are actually readable are always nice!  haha)

Take a baggy and place 2-3 hearts of the same color in.  Repeat this step for the other colors as well.

Time to think of that guy the dumped you the day before Valentines, take your hammer, and begin pulverizing that those little candies!  Now didn't that feel good?  Set the bags aside.

Take your dough and prepare small balls approximately 3/4 of an inch in size

Dip the bottom of your glass into sugar, then press lightly on the balls to create the cookie size you'd like (these will be perfectly bit size)

Cook for 6-7 minutes or until the edges are a golden brown

IMMEDIATELY, press a heart into the top half of the cookies.  You will have to work fast to avoid breaking cookies once they have cooled.

Allow to cool and place a tsp of frosting onto each bottom cookie

Taking your little heart smashed bits, sprinkle onto frosting focusing around the edges

Place top cookie (containing the heart) onto the top of the frosting and press lightly

You can roll them in more heart pieces if you'd like

Place in the fridge for an hour or so, then enjoy!

Hope you enjoy them!  They taste like tiny cupcakes!  Yum!

Love & Lollies...
