Directions

Invert cookies onto a rack and cool. Sift confectioners' sugar over the tops or melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and dip the tips in the chocolate. Store in an airtight container.

What a wonderful idea Christine. And a charming one.A sweet way to serve salt & sugar...or use your imagination... The ceramic heart spoon is handmade from stoneware clay and glazed in a bright red. I always use lead free glaze and high fire in my kiln for durability. All of my dishes are food, microwave & dishwasher safe. Each one is completely made by hand so each peice has its own unique handmade character and may be slightly different sizes and shapes.
