Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been so focused on Valentine’s Day Cupcake ideas that I almost forgot to make cookies with my new cookie cutters and supplies Karen’s Cookies<\/a>. If you haven’t already checked out this site, I highly recommend you do. She has some great tutorials, recipes, videos & supplies like the kissing lips used on these cookies. An added bonus was the reasonable shipping rate and speedy arrival; this is a rare occurrence for Alaskan residents.<\/p>\n

On Friday night I got to work rolling, cutting, baking and decorating cookies. I’m in love with Lila Loa’s End All Chocolate Cookie recipe<\/a>. They are deliciously soft and the royal icing colors really pops on these cookies.\u00a0 Beware, if you make these cookies you may never make a sugar cookie again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The other thing I love about this recipe it that the cookies don’t spread much at all when baking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I recently started moving away from Wilton icing colors and using\u00a0 Americolor soft gel paste. So far I’m very happy with the change. I would never have gotten theses shades of red using Wilton’s Icing Colors. It would have taken\u00a0 way too much red and I would have gotten frustrated long before these reds developed. Red icing has been the reason for many icing fits in the past.<\/p>\n

After making a powdered sugary, red mess of my kitchen and myself here are some of the cookies I made.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I wish I could say the “Love Bug” was my idea, but I have to give that\u00a0 credit to A+Kake Sweets<\/a>. When I saw her Love Bug cookie I just had to make one of my own. Isn’t she cute?<\/p>\n

Once packaged these cookies make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for friends or family.\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PS- I have not been paid to endorse any of the vendors or products I recommended in this post. I’m just spreading the love based on my own positive experiences.<\/p>\n
