Chocolate Sugar Cookies and Happy Valentine’s Day


What a fitting day for my first post. A day celebrating love and passion. Today I celebrate my two most precious loves – my husband and my daughter. They have supported me in this endeavor since day one. They are the best cheerleaders a wife/mother could ever have – not to mention great taste testers. My love to you both!

No matter how small or simple, we all like to be remembered on Valentine’s Day in some way. Sweets – especially chocolate ones – are a traditional way of saying “I love you” to that special someone. Taking the time to make something homemade elevates your gift to a truly heartfelt level.

I originally tasted these cookies a number of years back at a birthday party. I liked them enough to ask for the recipe – which found its way into my cookie folder where it has remained ever since. Until today. After tasting them again I remembered why I liked them so much the first time I ate them. This cookie dough is pretty easy to work with as long as it is well chilled. Decorated to your “heart’s” desire. I had intended to dip some of them into a chocolate glaze but just didn’t get around to it. This is a cookie sturdy enough to pack up and ship to Valentines both far and wide.

Love to all and Happy Valentine’s Day!

  1. Thanks Mary, I had forgotten all about these cookies from Tess’ 1st Birthday! I am so happy you saved my recipe all of these years and am looking forward to making them with Tess this summer. Congratulations on your beautiful blog!!

    • Thanks Grace! Somehow I don’t think it’s going to take that much begging. You pretty much have your Dad wrapped around your baby finger. 🙂
