These cookies were made over the weekend and I decided to make them a little more whimsical, playful, and soft romantic, not lovey-dovey with lots of hearts, the word “love” all over, and hot pink (although occasionally I do like a bit of hot pink). I don’t like lovey-dovey. It makes me sick. Like middle school I-like-you-will-you-check-yes-or-no notes and make-outs-in-the-halls-because-we-have-no-where-else-to-go-and-we-can’t-drive relationship. That kind of sick. These cookies aren’t those.
I made hearts and squares, and used the colors white, soft pink, red, mauve, and burgundy. Ah, lovely colors.
Many of the heart designs came from two sugar cookie blogs I read: Sweet Sugar Belle and Haniela. They are great decorators and I aspire to be just like them when I grow up.
And I made some fun valentine ones, like this lady bug.
And I made some stripes and hearts.
I don’t know what you’d call this design–a hybrid of sorts, I suppose. (There’s a lot of rave about disco dust, so I tried that on these cookies. My husband doesn’t like it, so I guess the verdict’s out on this.)
And more whimsical lines on square cookies.
Valentine’s Day is such a sweet day, and I hope it was that and so much more for you.
