Tips & Ideas For A Romantic Valentine's
Day
Say
I Love You With Cookies On Valentine's Day
What better way to tell your sweetie “I Love
You” than with some fresh baked cookies? Give some of these
sweet treats a try this Valentine’s Day. Cupid himself would
be impressed by these yummy creations. They are sure to be
a hit with your Sweetheart, Children, Neighbors or anyone else
special to you as well. Don’t forget to get the kids involved!
I still have memories of making Valentine’s Day Cookies as
a child.
Heart
Shaped Cookies
Make
you favorite roll-out sugar cookie recipe. Use a heart shaped
cookie cutter to cut them. Bake, frost
and decorate
to your heart’s content. You can sprinkle them with red
or pink crystallized sugar before you bake them, or frost
and
sprinkle with some tiny candied hearts or pink sprinkles
after they are baked. Use icing in a tube to write a message
or draw a picture on the cookie.
Cookie
Lollipop
Heart
Shaped cookie lollipops are always a big hit. Start with
basic sugar cookie dough. Roll it out to about
1/8th inch
thickness (place the dough between two sheets of wax paper
to keep the dough from sticking). Use a heart shaped cookie
cutter and cut an equal amount of hearts. Place half a
bamboo skewer, a lollipop stick (found at craft stores) or
a Popsicle
stick on the bottom half of the hearts. Place the remaining
hearts on top and press them firmly together. Bake according
to your recipe instructions and decorate as desired. Tip – soak the skewers or Popsicle sticks in water before
placing them on the cookies to keep them from getting burnt.
Valentine’s
Rice Krispies Treats
Make
Rice Krispies Treats and while the mixture is still warm
use a large heart shaped cookie cutter
to cut them out. If
you can’t find a cookie cutter of the right size, draw
a heart on cardboard and use it as a template. Just lay it
on the sheet of Rice Krispies Treats and trace around it
with a knife. For even more Valentine fun add a few drops
of red food coloring to the marshmallow mixture for a pink
version of the sticky treat.
Cookie
Dough Jar
Place
the dry ingredients of your favorite cookie recipe in a pretty
jar. Write the recipe for the cookie on
a heart
shaped piece of paper or a valentine’s note card. Tie it
with a pretty bow around the jar. Make the glass jar even
more special by drawing little red hearts on it with a
permanent marker. These are so cute and easy!
Bouquet
of Cookies
Bake
up some of your favorite cookies. Get a pretty basket and
line it with a red or pink cloth napkin. Arrange
the
homemade cookies in the basket. If you’d like, you can
also add some heart shaped cookie cutters, Valentine’s Day
themed
sprinkles, or some hot chocolate mix. Another option would
be to use a piece of floral foam and arrange some decorated
Cookie Lollipops within the basket and fill the bottom
with Hershey’s Kisses or other Valentine Candy. All of these cookie ideas for Valentine’s Day make wonderful
gifts for a special someone that has a personal touch. They
are sure to be appreciated, after all, who doesn’t like cookies?
