Happy February, friends! It’s officially time to bring out all thingsheart-shaped and all the pink, red and white! And time to bake up some yummy Valentine treats!
If you need some inspiration for Valentine décor or treats, you’ve come to the right place today! I’m so happy to be joining Jo-Anna from A Pretty Life and 28 other talented Canadian bloggers for a Valentines’ Day blog hop! Be sure to check out all the other amazing things everyone’s sharing at the end of this post!
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you probably know that I tend to gravitate towards easy recipes. If there’s more than 10 steps, I leave it to my husband. 😉 These cookies are one of these easy but oh-so-yummy recipes. They’re quick to mix together, easy to form into balls with my trust-worth cookie scoop, and then deliciously fun to spread cream cheese icing between two cookies.
I’ve already decided that I’ll be making them to send to our kids’ school Valentine parties. Their teachers always rave about our homemade treats we send (like last years Valentine Sugar Cookie Bars) and if their classmates love these half as much as our kids did, they’ll be a hit!
If you try these, be sure to remember to flatten the dough balls before baking them!
