Valentine’s Day Cupid Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

Although gingerbread men cookies are often associated with Christmas you can easily turn these cute little gingerbread men into fun little cupids for Valentine’s day! With some simple decorating and red food coloring these little guys will make any Valentine’s day party or event extra special. 

Making Gingerbread Dough 

Making a classic gingerbread cookie dough is pretty straight forward, for these cupid gingerbread men we are sticking with a classic recipe but adding some coco, chocolate chips, and red food coloring to make them fit the Valentine’s day theme. Ensure you melt you chocolate chips before adding them into your mix. Once you have combined both wet and dry ingredients ensure you mix well with a beater. Place dough in fridge for 30 minutes before rolling out to 2cm thick. Once this is done you can begin to cut your gingerbread men out and place in oven for 10minutes! 

Decorating Your Cupid Cookies

The best icing for any gingerbread is royal icing. For this recipe you will simply need egg whites, powdered sugar and some lemon juice. Adding lemon juice based on how thick you want your icing. Ensure you allow your cookies time to cool so icing doesn’t melt when added. At this point have fun with your designs! Add arrows, heart, and faces – whatever you want! Lastly, enjoy your little cupids! Check out our full instructions for Valentine’s day cupid gingerbread cookie recipe below.
