{It must be Valentines}

I love Valentines Day. It has always been a day of fun whether actually celebrating Valentines, or Singles Awareness. One of my favorite parts of the holiday is the candy. Now, coming from a candy makers daughter, that probably shouldn't be a surprise, but I really do have so much fun. This year, while cleaning out all of the drawers in the kitchen, I came across a few Valentine cookie cutters, some were mine, and the others belonged to the roomies. I decided to make and decorate sugar cookies, and not only were they super tasty, but they looked SO adorable too {big huge thanks to Carli and Noah for helping decorate them} We cranked up the oldies love songs and decorated away.

The recipe can be found at allrecipes.com {just type in rolled sugar cookies}

First you roll out the dough and cut out the cookies
{I used powder sugar to roll the cookies- instead of flour- it gives it a better taste}


Cook in the oven 7-8 minutes at 375 degrees

Let cool before frosting

And Ta-Da!!! Beautiful Cookies


To finish, I packaged them and handed them out as a fun Valentines treat!

So, Happy Valentines Day {tomorrow} I hope you take a moment tell someone you love them.
