More About This Recipe

  • Do you remember getting your first box of conversation hearts? I sure do. My mom would always give us a box on Valentine's Day. We only got candy on holidays or special occasions and I had a huge sweet tooth, so with most candies (like the jelly beans at Easter) I would just grab handfuls and pop them all into my mouth. I couldn't wait to gobble them up. But I didn't do that with conversation hearts. I'd pour my box out onto the table, turn them all right side up and read each and every mushy, corny, silly sentiment that was printed on top before eating a single candy. As an adult, I have to admit that each year, I still find myself reading each heart before popping them into my mouth. The imprints have changed over the years, and it's always fun to see what's new. Much like the changing messages on the candies, I like to find new ways to create the look of a conversation heart in a dessert. Over the years I've made conversation heart cheesecakes, fudge, toast, and cookies. Today, I thought I'd put a festive twist on a traditional conversation heart cookie by cutting a notch in each so they can be hung off the side of a coffee mug or glass of milk. I used Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix to keep these as simple as possible and even decorated them with Betty Crocker Red Cookie Icing. They're bright and colorful and most importantly, sweet! After the icing dries you can hang your cookies on mugs and glasses.
