These easy Valentine’s Day cookies are the perfect way to explore your inner decorator and start your cookie journey off with a smile! With all the essentials for beginner bakers to make 12 easy heart cookies, you’ll be spinning sugar and icing in no time! So go ahead, roll up your sleeves and get those sprinkles ready – your sweet treat awaits with our Beginner Hearts online cookie decorating class.
A small selection of the sets I’ve made are offered as online cookie decorating classes. For a full selection of all cookie sets I’ve made (both those that are classes and those that are detailed in full on the blog), click here.
This set was designed with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency, JUST 3 colors (but I encourage you to use whatever color combo makes you happy!) and just one cookie cutter. Fewer colors, consistencies and cutters means less time prepping and less money spent on supplies. Yes, you heard that right! Now that’s my kind of beginner class!
What makes these easy Valentine’s Day heart cookies so special?
When I set out to design this Beginner Hearts class, I wanted to come up with a set of the most classic designs and techniques that you can find in royal icing. You’ll learn 10 of the most common (and dare I say, iconic) wet on wet designs that I think every cookier should know how to do. Why did I do that? Because by taking this class I wanted you to feel equipped to apply these 12 designs/techniques to many, many more sets and shapes!
In fact, I encourage you to make this set in whatever color palette strikes your fancy! With just three colors, the possibilities are endless. Some have made these cookies for school events (in school colors) and for USA holidays (in red, white and blue). You’ll see in the reviews on the class listing just some of the different color combinations you can use.
As always with my beginner classes, this set uses just one cutter, one consistency and just 3 colors. All of those adjustments mean less money spent on supplies and less time spent prepping. Who doesn’t want that?! Sanding sugar is also included, but it’s totally optional!
Royal icing skills covered in this class:
- One consistency outline and flood
- Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
- Piping and flooding with a thick flood
- Working with sprinkles
- Wet on wet technique
- Basic line work with a flood consistency

You will learn how to decorate (from start to finish) TWELVE easy Valentine’s Day heart cookies
Easy “Hearts” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
These simple precious wet on wet hearts are a lot easier to make than they look, I promise!
Easy “Tropical Flowers” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Keeping it super simple with a classy white pumpkin and simple detail lines (all with one consistency, too!!).
Easy “Crackle” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
We all know how much I love crackle, so this was a given! I almost always include this in my beginner classes because it’s one of the best textures you can add to just a flood consistency!
Easy “Simple Plaid” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Plaid can be used in so many fall and winter sets, just as an example. This simpler design is a great entry-level plaid.
Easy “Fancy Lines” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
When you take this class you’ll learn there are two different ways to drag a scribe through lines. This is one!
Easy “Classic Flowers” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Ah, classic wet on wet flowers! These precious cuties have limitless applications.
Easy “Leopard” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Leopard is another wet on wet design I use in a lot of different sets. Because, well, it looks cute with just about anything! And, it’s so much easier than polka dots. No, really!
Easy “Ombré” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
This is a wet on wet interpretation of one of my favorite ombré designs that’s done with an airbrush. Except, no airbrush needed with this one!
Easy “Geometric Lines” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Piping a clean line might be harder than you think. This particular design was taken from one of my favorite intricture content sets!
Easy “Drip” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
A classic drip can be used on waffles, popsicles, ice cream, and so much more!
Easy “Simple Lines” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
This is probably the first wet on wet design I learned using a scribe. Everyone needs to know this!
Easy “Polka Dots” Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies
Last, but certainly not least: polka dots. They’re harder than they look to do well, but such an important design technique to know!
