Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Do you have any plans for today? (Baking for us!) We made two things for Valentine's Day, cut out cookies and blondies. But first, lets talk about the sugar cookies!

We made these cookies so that we could give them out to some friends, and this is how we packaged them to give them out.We decided on pink hearts instead of red, because we had no red food coloring... All of our friends loved these cookies and thought they were super cute. Want to impress someone special? Just make sugar cookies like these, they are sure to impress anyone!


We used royal icing on ours, but buttercream or any frosting you want would still be delicious! When we packaged these cookies, we put wax paper in between each layer to make it have more of a store bought feel. It definitely worked! 

Next we made blondies!We didn't ave a recipe for these, so we looked one up and decided to use the American Test Kitchen recipe that we found. We didn't really like this recipe, so we are going to try another recipe.(that's what we are baking today!) so we will definitely let you know how those turn out! (They tasted good but took forever to bake and turned out kind of dry)



Once we had them all cut out, we decided to make them a little bit more towards the Valentine's Day theme. So, we put heart shapes on the top of them! We did this by taking a small heart shaped cookie cutter and putting it into the top, but not all the way through the blondies.


We had some royal icing leftover from our cookies, so we thought it would be cute to fill in the hearts with the icing, and this was the result!
Have a happy Valentine's Day!

Did you bake something for Valentine's Day? What did you bake?
