39 Easy Heart Shaped Cookies

Heart-shaped cookies are great for serving or giving on occasions such as Valentine's Day, weddings, engagement parties, anniversary celebrations, and other romantic occasions.

You can also serve them at events or parties that celebrate love and friendship, such as Mother's day, Galentine's Day, or bridal showers.

They can also be given as gifts to loved ones, or baked and decorated as a special treat for a loved one.

How Do You Keep Cookies Fresh For Gift Giving?

There are a few ways to keep your cookies fresh when giving them as gifts.

1. Allow the cookies to completely cool, then store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and stop them from drying out.
2. You could also individually wrap each cookie in parchment paper or plastic food wrap before storing them in an airtight container.
3. Add desiccant packs like silica gel to the container to absorb excess moisture. 
4. Store them in a cool dry place, and avoid damp and humid conditions as this will cause them to go moldy.
5. Most cookies once baked can be frozen undecorated. They can then be thawed and decorated one to two days before you intend to gift them.
6. Also when storing arrange them in single layers with parchment paper in between each layer to help keep them looking nice and crumb free.

Cookie Decorating Tips

1. If you are a beginner, it is best to start with a simple design that you can easily master. Most of the heart-shaped biscuits on this are easy to make like cookies #9, #15, #21, #22, #24, #25, or #27.
2. Allow the cookies to cool completely when decorating them with icings like royal icing, buttercream, or other simple frostings because these melt when applied to hot cookies. 
3. The icings you use should be the correct consistency. They should be thick enough to hold their shape but not too thick that they can't be piped or easily spread.
4. When decorating with royal icing, pipe an outline of the design to get clear and defined shapes, if in doubt do some research on Youtube to see how it is done.
5. If you make mistakes when icing cookies, small ones might be fixed using a toothpick, if not carefully scrape it off and start again.
6. Have patience because decorating cookies can take time. 

What Would Be The Proper Packaging For Cookies?
