Conversation Heart Cookies: is this not the cutest cookies ever?! And really easy to make if you have the right tools. Check them out in Google Stories!
Inspiration struck when I saw(and bought)this alphabet cookie stamp set from a local shop. You can get a similar set HERE.
Originally I was thinking of using these stamps to mark all our salt dough creations like THESE, but then I thought about making real cookies and stamping it like conversation heart sweets. I LOVE how it turned out, do you?
We(myself and 5.5 yr old daughter) made a small batch of our favourite Cookie Dough (get the printable recipe card at the end of this post) and coloured it pink, yellow and blue.
My 3 yr old son and his cousin helped cut the heart cookies(hence the imperfect heart shapes, lol). It’s a great opportunity to use those fine motor skills with rolling, pressing, picking it up carefully… Oh, and not to mention the sensory experience that comes it…
Before it was baked I used my new toys to stamp some lovely words on:
Then it was baked for 15 minutes and came out this pretty, almost too pretty to eat!
Pretty conversation heart cookies, and easy, right?
