Sweet Valentine Text Cookies (Tutorial)

More cookies on a string......but THIS time......
you get to personalize them for that special someone. :)

A few weeks ago, I saw this adorable poster on Pinterest.
I loved the sayings so much.....and knew I just HAD to put a few on some Valentine cookies. heehee

I picked out a bunch of varying shapes to go together for these text cookies.
It was fun to even change up some shapes by putting the string hole in a different spot.

Ok....so you know the drill for cookies with strings after my last post of the
hanging stitched valentine hearts, right?

Cut out your shapes with a small hole for the string.

I used a wide straw.....but any small cylinder will work.

You can pick any colors you'd like.
I chose more electric colors for this one......rather than the traditional red & pink.

Outline each cookie with a #2 round....and "inline" the string hole too.

Let them dry for 10-15 minutes......then flood the insides with a #4 round.

You can add text right away (with a very small tip like #1 or #0) for wet on wet. 

Or you can let them dry for 20-30 minutes and then add your text.

OR......the easiest way is to let them dry overnight and then add your text with markers.

(This might be a fun project to do with the kids.....
have them write their own texts on cookies.)

I use FooDoodlers.....but any food coloring markers will do.

Once the cookies are dry....add your twine or string.
I used twine from The Twinery.
What fun colors!

I had a few stray cookies that I forgot to put holes in.....
so they are just hanging out with the rest. lol

So many possibilities for these cookies. Enjoy!
