Olive you!
I've made these martini cookies before, but they needed an update (and new pictures). And they needed giant olives....with heart-shaped pimientos.
{Because nothing says "Valentine" like a heart-shaped pimiento.}
The idea came from a Valentine card that I gave Mr. E a few years ago.
{Sure sign cookies have taken over your life? Everything you see becomes a cookie.}
To make the martinis, you'll need:
With a #2 tip, outline the cookies in white.
Reserve some piping consistency red icing. Thin the pink and remaining red icing with water, a teaspoon at a time, stirring until it reaches the consistency of thick syrup. Cover with a damp dish towel and set aside.
After several minutes, stir the icings gently with a rubber spatula to pop and air bubbles that have risen to the surface. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
Flood most of the martini glass with the thinned pink icing, leaving a little room at the top.
Flood the top of the glass and the bottom of the stem in white. Use a toothpick to guide to the edges.
Let sit 1 hour.
Using a #1 tip, pipe the arrow swizzle stick.
With the #12 tip, pipe the olive with avocado icing.
Directly on top of the olive, pipe a heart with the red icing.
Let dry overnight before packaging.
♥Cheers, you guys! Happy Valentine's WEEK! ♥
