Stuff Happiness Is Made Of

Iced Heart Shaped Cookies

Came home from uni and pre-heated the oven. While waiting, took my pre-made pie out of the freezer and mixed yet another batch of sugar cookie dough to make more cookies. This time, I decided to make everything heart shaped. Trying to spread some love all around.



My lunch - Chicken and mushroom pie. It's fairly easy to make if one could be bothered to put in the effort. I bought a pre-seasoned chicken and roasted it at home (I find it better than buying the chicken roasted from the supermaket. Also, it sounds better to say that you roasted it yourself), then shredded it to pieces. I then put some oil, garlic, onions and mushrooms into the pan, shoved the chicken in with some cream, added some pepper, salt and corn flour and I had my pie filling. The crust is pre-made puff pastry. Also, the fact that you can make it and put it into the freezer until you want to eat it makes it even more convenient.



Heart Shaped Cookies - I am quite proud of the outcome. I didn't have enough icing sugar so I decorated the cookies all differently. Starting from the bottom clockwise:

1. Heart-Shaped Sandwich - Just the cookies pressed together with jam.
2. Iced background with cornelli lace piping on the top.
3. Just some random wiggles.
4. Cornelli lace with no background because of lack of icing.
5. Just a couple of swirls with the last of the icing and some dragees.

Will probably be working on stars or gingerbread men next.
