Olive you!
I've made these martini cookies before, but they needed an update (and new pictures). And they needed giant olives....with heart-shaped pimientos.

{Because nothing says "Valentine" like a heart-shaped pimiento.}
The idea came from a Valentine card that I gave Mr. E a few years ago.

To make the martinis, you'll need:
![](http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu101/bridget350/new%20main/oliveyou2pair.jpg)
- martini glass shaped cookies (if you don't have a cutter, use a template.)
- royal icing tinted with AmeriColor
Bright White, Super Red, Deep Pink, Avocado
- disposable piping bags
- squeeze bottles
- tips in #2, #1 and #12
- toothpicks

Reserve some piping consistency red icing. Thin the pink and remaining red icing with water, a teaspoon at a time, stirring until it reaches the consistency of thick syrup. Cover with a damp dish towel and set aside.
After several minutes, stir the icings gently with a rubber spatula to pop and air bubbles that have risen to the surface. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
