Looking for something unbelievably awesome yet cheap to give your guests on your wedding day? Look no further as Hannah shows us how to make the cutest love heart cookies, a perfect wedding favour!

You will need:
325g plain flour
200g chilled butter (cut into small pieces)
125g Golden caster sugar
2tsp Vanilla extract
2 large free range egg yolks
Baking paper
Round cookie cutter (10cm)
Rolling pin
Ready to roll coloured icing
Heart shaped cookie cutter to fit within the 10cm round.
Icing sugar and water (as paste to stick the icing to the cookie).
Writing icing
Favour bags & ribbon

(Makes 12 cookies)

Making the cookies:

Step 1:
Tip the flour & butter into a food processor. Whizz the mixture until it's the consistency of breadcrumbs.

Step 2:
Add the sugar, vanilla & egg yolks. Whizz into a dough.

Step 3:
Make the dough into a ball.

Step 4:
Roll out the dough (use a little flour to stop it sticking to the work surface).

Step 5:
Cut into round cookies and place on baking sheet.

Step 6:
Cook at 190 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until golden.

Step 7:
When golden place on wire rack to cool.


Decorating:

You will need:
Ready to roll coloured icing (I am using Renshaw’s pastel colours).
Rolling pin
Heart shaped cookie cutter to fit within the 10cm round.
Icing sugar and water (as paste to stick the icing to the cookie).
Writing icing

Step 1:
Roll out the ‘ready to roll’ icing (approx. 4mm thick).

Step 2:
Using the round cutter you used for the cookies, cut into round disks.

Step 3:
Using a paste of icing sugar and water add a little to the top of the cookie – to act like a glue.

Step 4:
Using the heart shaped cutter score a heart shape in the top of the cookie (do not push all the way through the icing).

Step 4:
Using the writing icing follow the heart guide mark to add the heart

Step 5:
Add your guest’s names to the inside of the heart

Step 6:
Leave to dry.

Step 7:
If they are favours to be taken away you can bag up the cookies. They also make great place names for your wedding reception tables. Ribbon to suit your colour scheme.
