For Valentine's Day, I still have an unusual recipe for a delicious dessert in store for you. We have already compiled and even learned how to do it.
Well, today we combine both. Because dessert is a dish and at the same time a valentine. We will bake cookies in the shape of cute, pink hearts. They turn out so tasty, so tender. Your soulmate will be joyfully surprised and melt in their feelings for you. I guarantee it!
For the dish we will need heart-shaped molds. You can take a variety of sizes.
Cookies for Valentine's Day: step-by-step preparation
We will need:
- Wheat flour - 600 grams;
- Baking powder - 1 tbsp. spoon;
- Salt - 1 pinch;
- Sugar - 250 grams;
- Egg - 2 pieces;
- Sour cream - 100 grams;
- Vanilla extract - 1-2 drops;
- Butter - 100 grams;
- Milk - 50 milliliters;
- Food coloring - 2-3 drops.
Preparation:
Let's start making delicious dough.
1.To knead it, take a deep bowl. Pour in wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir everything with a spatula until the ingredients are combined.
Sift the wheat flour a couple of times. It is saturated with oxygen. The dough will be airy and tender.
2. Take out 100 grams of softened butter. Beat it with a mixer with granulated sugar until smooth in a separate bowl.
3. Break an egg into it and drop vanilla extract into it. Just a couple of drops is enough. The main thing is not to overdo it. Continuing to beat, pour in all the sour cream.
4.Add the mixture to the bowl with flour and baking powder. Knead the dough. When it becomes difficult to knead, transfer the mass to a clean, dry table. Dust it a little with flour and continue kneading the mixture into a good shortbread dough.
5. Wrap the finished shortbread dough in cling film and place it in the refrigerator to rest for half an hour. From the cold it will become more homogeneous, elastic and elastic.
6. Preheat the oven to 180-200° C.
7.Take the dough out of the refrigerator and out of the cling film. Remember once or twice more and roll out the pancake no more than 3-4 mm thick on the work surface. We take molds and squeeze out the hearts.
8.Roll out the layers several times until all the cookie dough is gone.
9. Place heart-shaped cookies on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 200° C degrees.
10.The baking tray can be greased with a little butter. Or the products can be placed on a silicone baking mat. These mats do not need to be oiled in advance. They are very convenient in this situation.
While the cookies are baking, make the icing.
11.Beat 50 grams of butter with sugar. Pour milk and food coloring into it. You can use any food coloring: pink, red, blue and even greenish.
12.Remove the finished golden brown cookies from the oven. Let it cool down a little. Use a spoon to apply thick glaze using sweeping movements.
These are the lovely hearts I made!
Cookies can be served immediately with tea. We eat with pleasure and confess our love to each other!
And I wish you love, joy and Have a good mood every day!
Everyone loves receiving unusual valentines, but not everyone knows who started this tradition.
According to one version, the first Valentine was sent by a certain Duke of Orleans, who was in prison and, out of boredom, wrote love messages to his wife. According to another, valentines were “invented” by a young girl who, in 1477, wrote a letter to her lover asking him to prove her feelings and promising to extract a dowry from her mother.
Be that as it may, valentines were written already in the 15th century. The peak of their popularity came in the 18th century. These were real works of art: beautiful paper, color painting, lace undercut. In the 19th century, mass production of valentines began, and every year they became more and more depersonalized.
Today, a Valentine is simply a card with hearts and the template phrase “Happy Valentine’s Day!” But Lifehacker has compiled his own selection of Valentine cards - for those who do not accept mediocrity and want to surprise their soulmate on February 14th.
Continuing the M&M theme, another idea for Valentine's Day is a Valentine in a jar.
It's simple: decorate a jar with a twist and pour candy into it (it is advisable to choose red, pink and white dragees to match the holiday flavor). You can decorate the jar to your taste, or you can spy on an idea.
Don't have a jar on hand? No problem - use empty plastic bottles.
Valentine flipbook
A flipbook (from the English flip - “turn over” + book - “book”) is a small (the size of a business card) illustrated book, flipping through the pages of which creates the illusion of movement. The pictures “come to life”, like in a cartoon.
A flipbook for Valentine's Day is a valuable and memorable gift. It can capture the story of your love or simply confess your feelings. You can make a flipbook yourself, or order it from a special company or from a handmade craftsman (see).
Valentine's card for tea lovers. Take a tea bag, carefully cut it and pour the tea leaves out of it. Then cut out a heart from the filter paper and sew it tightly with thread, not forgetting to pour the tea leaves back at the end. By the way, instead of tea “dust,” which is often sold in tea bags, you can buy expensive, delicious tea and fill the bags with it.
Additional romantic touches include heart tails for the bags and sugar with hearts. Details.
Lovers often ask each other a “ridiculous” question: “How much do you love me?”
This cosmic valentine will help you demonstrate the extent and depth of your feelings. Like, my love for you, dear (oh), is as limitless as the Universe.
It’s not difficult to make such a Valentine card. You will need a heart made of black paper (symbolizes space) and a round candy wrapped in surreal paper (the planet of your Love).
You can, of course, laugh - an option for a forensic expert (by the way, why not?), but, in fact, this is a very sweet, if not intimate, valentine.
This is an allusion to the union of a man and a woman who walk through life hand in hand. And between the lines it reads: “I will always be there. I will give you a helping hand in difficult times."
But even if your significant other doesn’t dig that far in search of metaphorical meanings, she will probably appreciate your efforts. After all, to create this creation, you will have to get pretty smeared with paint.
This valentine will help you warm up on a cold February evening. It contains cocoa, marshmallow and other sweets to suit your taste.
At the same time, this is not just a sign of attention and care. This valentine is like an invitation to a date. After all, who wants to drink hot chocolate alone? ;)
Another variation of a similar set.
Valentine's Day is a good time to propose. At least on this day you can be a romantic and not be ashamed of it.
Do a beautiful box, using the diagram and instructions from here, and present your loved one with a ring on February 14th. This valentine will definitely be remembered for a long time!
Well, if you are not yet ready for marriage, just put a small gift inside.
