Grumpy Heart Cookies

I made two different versions of heart cookies last night to celebrate valentine’s day. Above linzer cookies filled with jam and below chocolate dipped shortbreads. I was feeling a bit grumpy and pmsy. Don’t ever bake when you feel this way. All my hearts are wonky and the chocolate is a bit messy. Thankfully, the cookies were a welcome solace to my bad behavior. This morning I had a chocolate dipped shortbread. Amazing…now I can conquer the day.

    I think the cookies look great. Very folky & rustic. That's what I callit when things aren't perfect;)

    Yum. At least you have cookies to cheer you up! I feel you though – cooking when grumpy leads to impatience, which leads to somewhat lumpy products. But yours look beautiful, so I'm not sure how grumpy you really were.

    I'm sorry you have the grumpies! And I love the wonky hearts — the wonkier the better, I say.

    I shouldn't bake when I feel that way simply because I will eat all the dough!

    Hi Katie – I made the same cookies i.e. the ones with the jam and cut out hearts, however, most of mine cracked except for 4 which I gave to my mum so I didn't get a pic. I think I rolled them out too thinly. The 'middle' bits i.e. the small hearts made it though and are on my blog :o) Hope you feel better and are having a lovely valentines day x
