So my best friend Carmz shared an image (maybe a link) with my in the beginning of February. It looked like this:
but there were also butts with thongs drawn on with icing, and the piping detail was less fine and precise (read fancy lol). She suggested that I try it. I indicated with valentine's day coming up I definately would, I made them two days after.
I started with these quality ingredients:
I creamed the butter and eggs:
In a separate bowl I combined the dry ingredients:
I combined them (forgot to snap a photo), chilled the dough, and turned it out onto a well floured board:
I carefully monitered the thickness, maintaining a 1/4" throughout the sections I used the cookie cutter on:
Then I cut out as many hearts as I could:
I reshaped the remainder dough, rerolled it to the right thickness and cut more:
I set them on foil-lined, well-greased pans about one inch apart:
And they came out PERFECT!!!
Look at those undersides!:
Of course I had to taste one! But seriously, look how fluffy it is and how it maintained it's thickness!
(Seriously, this picture makes me want one right now and they've been gone for like three weeks!)
Then I got the icing materials ready:
Rainbow Bright helped me melt the candy:
Then I coated the cookies and piped the icing on. I tried using the new cookie press/icing gun, it is very FAST, it will take much practice to get used to.
Here are my finished products - YUUUMMMMMMM!!
