Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until soft dough forms.
  • 2
    Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on floured surface. Cut out approximately 100 cookies with 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, rerolling dough as necessary. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3
    Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute. Remove to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, divide frosting among 6 small bowls, about 1/3 cup each. Using food colors, tint frosting in each bowl a different color, leaving 1 bowl white.
  • 5
    Working with 1 color at a time, microwavable small bowl of frosting uncovered on High 8 to 10 seconds or until thin enough to pour.
  • 6
    Using 2 forks, dip and roll each cookie in melted frosting to cover completely, letting excess drip off. Place on cooling rack placed over waxed paper to catch drips. Repeat with remaining cookies and colored frosting. Let stand at least 3 hours at room temperature until frosting is set. Store loosely covered at room temperture.

  • Since all microwaves vary, it's important to watch the frosting closely while microwaving. It will quickly start to melt down into a looser texture, perfect for dipping.
  • Conversation-heart cookies turn out best when baked one sheet at a time on the middle oven rack. Allow the cookie sheet to cool completely in between batches so they don't spread too much.
  • Short on time? Make and bake the cutout cookies the day before dipping. Let the cookies cool completely, and store in a covered container at room temperature until the next day. Then, continue following this conversation-heart cookie recipe as directed.
