Hi! Happy days after Christmas and happy new year!
Thought I would post about my spontaneous gingerbread and sugar cookie hearts for the rim of a mug.
We had our friends staying with us for Christmas and last night before they left the adults watched the movie 'The Help' (highly recommended) as the kids were tucked snug in their beds and we ate gingerbread hearts hooked to our mugs. ;)
My idea originated from this amazingly cute idea. Gingerbread houses that perch on your mug.
Really check out the post it is super cute but more time consuming than I desired to put into my cookie making this year...soooo little hearts that fit on the rim of our mugs were my next best idea.
A bit about the how to:
These were very simple I had a heart cookie cutter just the right size.
After I cut out the hearts with my cutter I then used a sharp knife to slice/cut out a small spot for the cookies to hook onto the rim of our mugs.
After they baked and while they were still soft and hot I cut away any dough that had spread and covered my little hook. I mainly eye balled it for where to cut.
About 90% of them worked like a charm but there were a few I cut that were a little off.
The only thing is I forgot to sprinkle sugar on the top of the cookies (I was multitasking, getting kids down for bed while making these little guys) so they are not as pretty as they could be, but YOU could pretty them up quite a bit.
I had done a few practice cookies earlier this week when I was making cookies and that helped me quite a bit. I used ginger bread and sugar cookie dough for these little hearts that you can dip in coffee or tea.
A perfect small and simple treat to eat with your hot drink.
Well enjoy a little heart
and
have a great Happy New Year ~2012
Hope this is fun and useful to you over the next few more days of celebrating.
Keeping it simple in our west corner.

Hi Becky! I love your cookie idea. The little Gingerbread house on the mug is a bit over the top, but your cookie idea is great.
I can't wait to see The Help!

Great idea! I saw the original post with the gingerbread houses but while I thought they were cute, they were just too complex and to big for me. I will definitely be using your great idea!
How cute. I'll make these the next time I have people over.
