I picked out a bunch of varying shapes to go together for these text cookies.
It was fun to even change up some shapes by putting the string hole in a different spot.

Ok....so you know the drill for cookies with strings after my last post of the

Cut out your shapes with a small hole for the string.
I used a wide straw.....but any small cylinder will work.
You can pick any colors you'd like.
I chose more electric colors for this one......rather than the traditional red & pink.

Outline each cookie with a #2 round....and "inline" the string hole too.
Let them dry for 10-15 minutes......then flood the insides with a #4 round.
You can add text right away (with a very small tip like #1 or #0) for wet on wet.
Or you can let them dry for 20-30 minutes and then add your text.
OR......the easiest way is to let them dry overnight and then add your text with markers.
(This might be a fun project to do with the kids.....
have them write their own texts on cookies.)

I use FooDoodlers.....but any food coloring markers will do.
Once the cookies are dry....add your twine or string.
I used twine from The Twinery.
What fun colors!
