Valentine Food Cookie Cutters

Just added to the shop for this Valentine season are these new food pairings cookie cutters. You can find a burger cookie cutter, french fries cookie cutter, a milk carton cookie cutter, and a chocolate chip cookie cutter.

They are available in regular, small, and mini sizes. For this tutorial, I'm decorating the REGULAR size cookies.

Cookie Templates for "We go together like..." Cookies

To help with the decorating process, I made a PDF template available for the new "We go together like..." food cookie sets.

You can download these cookie templates HERE.

If you have a Kopykake or Pico projector, just print it out (or pull it up on your mobile device) and you are good to go. For those without a projector, follow the suggested steps below by tracing the design onto the cookie with an edible food marker.

The Cookie Decorating Process

For these food pair cookies, you will need the following suggested colors:

Milk Carton Cookie

Step 1

Acting fast, begin by filling in the middle area with light blue icing. Be sure to outline around the eyes. Next, quickly fill in the white top and bottom sections, then add the two dots of pink for the cheeks. Let this icing set up (about an hour).

Once the base layer had time to set, fill in the eyes with black icing, followed immediately with the white dot accents, as shown.

Finish this milk carton cookie by adding the outlines and draw in the smile with a black food pen.

Decorated Chocolate Chip Cookie

Step 1

Flood the entire cookie (except for the eye holes) with tan icing. Then quickly add the two dots of pink for the cheeks. Let this icing set.

Once the base layer had time to set, fill in the eyes with black icing, followed immediately with the white dot accents, as shown.

Acting fast, begin by filling in the top bun area with tan icing. Be sure to outline around the eyes. Next, quickly add the white dot accents, then add the two dots of pink for the cheeks. Also, fill in the burger patty section with dark brown icing. Let this icing set up (about an hour).

Next, fill in the lettuce and lower bun sections.
