Sacred Heart Cookies

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In addition, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is celebrated on the Friday following the Second Sunday after Pentecost, which will be June 19th this year.

A fun way to celebrate at home would be to bake a heart shaped cake or cookies in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Though I can't take any credit for these beautiful cookies, I was able to snap a picture, before they quickly disappeared, at this week's Summer with the Saints (a great summer program for children, put together by my friend Marci). Aren't they perfect?!?

All you need:

• Heart Shaped Sugar Cookies (Here are a couple great recipes from the archives!)
  
• White, Red, and Yellow Frosting
• Chocolate Sprinkles

Directions:

Frost cookies with white frosting. Add heart to center of cookie with the red frosting. Arrange chocolate sprinkles around center of the heart to represent the thorns. Add yellow frosting "flames" coming from the top of the red heart. Enjoy!

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
have mercy on us!
