Valentine Cookies
February 13, 2013
My cakes and cupcakes are filled with delicious strawberry filling,
however I am still in need of just a bit more... I am not in the mood
for an elaborate frosting. What to do? Whip up some sugar
cookie dough! I have a great recipe which I used for our
Christmas Sugar Cookies.
This creamy vanilla frosting is Vanilla Bark- it is wonderful for
many things-coating strawberries, graham crackers, dipping
pretzel sticks- today I am using it for frosting cookies!
I am going to melt 1/2 package of vanilla bark in microwave at 50
% power at 1 minute intervals. Stir after each minute. After 2
minutes mine was completely melted and ready for dipping my
cookies. If you'd like to change the flavor of the bark add your
favorite extract-
Melted bark is so creamy and smooth-it makes decorating cookies
a breeze. Bark has a tendency to harden quickly, if this happens
add 1 teaspoon cooking oil to thin.
This particular sugar cookie recipe frosted with vanilla bark tastes
very similar to Mothers Circus Animal Cookies.
Tip: When you are finished with your bowl of bark- immediately
rinse with hot water for easier clean up.
After stirring vanilla bark, dip sugar cookies into bark, place them
on a wire rack over a cookies sheet larger than rack and decorate.
This method of decorating makes for a simple clean up!
Weren't these easy- no fuss, a whole lot of color and flavor!
