Simple Dotty Valentine’s Cookies
Who likes simple cookies?
Me too! That’s why I love these. They look like a lot of work, but they weren’t.
Of course, you can use traditional Valentine’s Day colors, but I was kind of in an off-color mood.
Start with a cookie that has been outlined and flooded. For help with outlining and flooding click HERE. I used ivory for the base color, but you can choose any color you like.
Next, mix several colors of flood icing {or just a few if you want} and use it to apply dots to the cookie.
Because the icing is “liquid” it will flow into perfectly round dots. If you need help with consistencies, click HERE. I have a few videos to help you out.
Let the cookies dry for a few hours, and you’ll have these!
So easy, in fact, you will have time to make all of these BEAUTIFUL treats too!
There is no excuse for showing up to your Valentine’s Day Party empty handed! Valentine’s Cuteness is only a click away!!!

This is so precious! I love the dots! 😀
These are beautiful, Callye!! I love love LOVE the colors you chose, and the puffiness of the dots. Your cookies always have so much dimension!!
So cute Callye. I’m envious of your perfect puffy dots!
Very pretty! I look at those though and cringe. I had trouble with craters when I made dots like that recently. I’ll have to try it again with these awesome cookies and see what happens.
So cute. I think kids would really love to just feel those dots on top of the cookies. The tactile stuff, you know?
I just love those little puffy dots and I <3 you!
These are so pretty, Callye!

Hi Callye,
I love all of your designs and cookiejects, sorry I like to make up my own words, I call my work cakejects. I wanted to know how do you achieve the coral color? I know you start off with an ivory base, but what other colors do you use?
Thank you so much!
I am glad you were in an off color mood because these could’t be an cuter!!!
Love them !,! Getting ready to do a ton of heart cookies myself, very soon!
Happy Valentines Day
I love these! The 3-D look to the color dots are so cute! Great idea, thanks for sharing!

These are such a wonderful alternative to the run of the mill red valentine’s cookies. I love the colour scheme – it’s beautiful. As is often the way, it is the simplest ideas that are the most effective.
Beautiful! Do you ever have any trouble with ‘sinking’ or ‘holes’ in these types of dots you make?
Such a great idea!! I love the colors!!!!

So cute!
About the icing you use, you refer to it as flood icing. Is it royal icing? And is it rock hard?
That is so cool! I saw this on Pinterest and I had to find out how to make these. Thanks for sharing!

These are so pretty! I love the colors you chose for the dots and think they would be fabulous too in pink and red.xx
beautiful cookies! my question…is the ivory base dry before adding the dots?
So, I am guessing that you shouldn’t let the piped icing dry before flooding? I did and it doesn’t come out smooth. They are still cute, especially for a first try at this, but I can see how each cookie needs to be done before moving on. Great project though…and they are adorable!!

These look great, curious to know if you let the flooding dry before you add the dots?

Has anyone made then froze these? I would like to make them 2 weeks before our first and second grade girls mother/daughter party and was hoping they freeze then thaw well. Thank you!

I made similar cookies for V-day but used more of the traditional colors – red, pink, and a few purple dots. I used the 20 second icing and felt the consistency was right…ivory base was very smooth but remained on the cookie (day 1). The day after icing with ivory I applied the colored dots of icing (day 2), trying to allow drying time for the ivory. By the following morning, the color from the red and purple dots had bled onto the ivory. Is there something I could do differently? I’m sure these darker colors do bleed more easily. Thank you! In awe of your beautiful work!
Did you dry the cookies with a fan?
I did not. I just allowed them to air dry.
