SQUISHING you a Happy Valentine's Day! Our NEW kit includes the 5 cutters and some CUTE packaging supplies to make fun Valentine treats!

It's so hard to pick a favorite, but this Squishie Bear might be mine. I think it is the headband. 

This tutorial includes a step-by-step look at all FIVE Valentine's Day cookies. Plus, CLICK HERE to DOWNLOAD the 5 FREE TEMPLATES. 

Cookie Yield

For a single batch of dough, you can make about 18-20 of the 5 regular sized cookies (about 4-5 of each). I should note that I roll my cookies to 1/4" thick using the Dough EZ Rolling Mat System. The thickness of your cookies will impact your yield.

Prepping the Royal Icing

Check out the icing guide below for tips on making the right colors and an estimate of how much of each color you'll need.

For a single batch of dough, I typically use a single batch of icing. Since I'm using a KitchenAid mixer, I made a double batch of icing and split it in half (reserving half for another project).

Project Timeline

Plan ahead to enjoy the most success with your cookie project! I break up the decorating process. It works better with my life to do a little each day. Here is the schedule for this cookie project and estimated times on how long each phase takes.

DAY 1 

Mix Dough (30 mins), Chill Dough (2 hours inactive time), Roll and Bake (1 hour), Mix Royal Icing and Prep Icing Colors the day before you decorate (1 hour)

Outline and Flood Cookies (1-2 hours), Allow to dry in front of fan before adding details (1 hour for standard cookies and 4-6 hours for stenciled cookies). Piping details (1-2 hours).
