More pictures from my Valentine’s Day cookies.
I got home at 8 pm after an outing with fellow teachers Monday night, but I still wanted something to bring in for Valentine’s Day, so I got to making cookies. I again followed the same recipes for icing and cookies as I did for the sugar cookies from my Christmas baking, but this time I was more familiar with the dough and “flooding” technique for icing. Originally, I was planning on making pink and red icing, and going all out with decorating and making them super cute, but I didn’t have any red food coloring, and it was getting quite late and I was becoming a very tired girl. The kitchen table was a mess, and the cookies definitely got messier the later it got, but I’m still happy with the outcome, and so were many teachers.
I love Valentine’s Day. I always have, and I think I always will. Maybe because growing up, my mom always made it special, and maybe because I just like sharing love. I like sharing, a lot. It was on Valentine’s Day a couple of years ago when I decided to turn my sad energies into baking, and my new “hobby” (and blogging about it) started soon after that.
