We decided to depart from our usual healthy cooking and make some Valentine's Cookies as a Valentine's Day treat...it is a day for sweetness after all! Make sure to leave a good gap between each cookie or they will merge together.
It was great fun making the cookies and we had lots of licking fingers!
