Latte Art Cookies

These tender espresso cookies decorated with a chocolate glaze and royal icing are inspired by the beautiful designs your local barista might gift you on your morning coffee. Sometimes known as “latte art,” these motifs are super-easy to make once you know a few simple techniques — and you’ll just need a piping bag and a toothpick to create them. We showcase two beautiful designs in this recipe: a classic leaf and a not-so-classic heart wreath. They’re fun and whimsical, and once you get the hang of it, you’re bound to branch out and create your own designs.
