Hearts to You, Fellow Foodies…

I just wanted to say Happy Valentine’s Day and share some fun I  had this evening with a very good friend whose daughter had to bake some cookies for a charity event.  It was a rush job considering it was a weeknight, but in the end, the cookies were pretty cute. 

Normally, an edge would be piped around the perimeter of each cookie to hold in the thinner icing, but with so many to do in such a short time, we just spread it all around, laughing while it dripped down the sides. 

A couple of glasses of wine and a carnitas burrito helped everything turn out just fine.  So just look past those drips along the side. Img_6043

If you are curious about the recipe, I made these cookies last fall, so you can take a look here.

No, that isn’t a blue valentine.  It’s purple.  One of these days, I’ll get the camera setting correct.  But, they could substitute for patriotic valentines, right?Img_6041
