Chocolate Dipped Pink Heart Cookies {Simply Sweet Saturdays}

It's time for another Simply Sweet Saturdays link party. This week I'm sharing a quick and easy idea for last minute Valentine's Day cookies.

These chocolate dipped pink hearts came about as a happy accident because my original plan was a fail. I was inspired by these cookies from Lizy B. I wanted to see if I could use an embossing folder like the one I used for my fondant heart cookies to emboss a design on some colored dough. Everything went well until I baked the cookies. The design pretty much totally baked out. I guess you need to press a design really deep into your dough for it to work.

I was left with colored heart cookies which would make great last minute cookies for Valentine's Day but I wanted to kick them up a notch. I texted my friend Stephanie to tell her about my fail and she said "why don't you sandwich buttercream between two cookies and put sprinkles all around the sides?". Great idea! I thought to myself  "I have some leftover buttercream in the freezer". Then a light bulb went off. Why don't I make things even simpler and just dip half the cookie in chocolate and put sprinkles on it? I absolutely love them! Thanks Stephanie for helping me get to my plan B.

Now it's your turn to show me what you've been working on.

Rules:

1) Link up your recipes, sweet creations, crafts, DIY projects, etc. 

2) This party is open to both bloggers and FB pages. Put the name of your project on your link and make sure your link goes directly to your blog post {permalink} or FB photo and not your homepage.
