Hướng dẫn cách trang trí bánh quy đơn giản cho valentine

 Simple Valentine’s Day Cookies

Ingredients and Tools

• Heart shaped cookies, baked and cooled
• Red royal icing, 15-20 second consistency (here is a great starter icing recipe and here is a video on icing consistency)
• White royal icing, 15-20 second consistency
• Pastry bags, couplers, and two #2 tips (here is a video on putting together a pastry bag – it is the technique I use!)
• Toothpicks. Lots and lots of toothpicks.

1. Outline and flood your cookie with royal icing and a #2 tip (I chose to do a red base with white accents, but you could switch them if you want). Your cookies will look like this:

2. To make each of these cookies, you will be applying the white icing on top of the red icing, and then using a toothpick to make pretty swirls.

Top Left Cookie (I’m referencing the picture at the top of this post):

Bottom Left Cookie:

Pipe three lines of white icing with a #2 tip onto the cookie:

Then, in one continuous motion, drag a toothpick through the icing like this:

Top Middle Cookie:

Create horizontal lines across the entire cookie, and then drag the toothpick through in alternating directions:

Bottom Middle Cookie:

Pipe dots around the edge of the cookie:

In one continuous motion, drag a toothpick through the dots, like this:

Top Right Cookie:

Pipe dots in random spots on cookie:

Draw toothpick through dots to make hearts with swirly tails (I also added a couple small dots):

Bottom Right Cookie:

Create circles with the white icing, starting in the middle of the cookie. Then, drag a toothpick from the middle to the edge:
