Valentine's Cookies

I wanted to make something fun, easy and affordable for Valentine's Day. That's when I came up with a Valentine Cookie Party. These Cute heart shaped sugar cookies would look great at any Valentine's day party.




My daughter Ella helping roll out the dough.





For these mini hearts I melted Wiltons Chocolate melts(I used red and white) in a small bowl,
dipped a spatula in the chocolate and drizzled it over the cookies.





These LOVE cookies turned out pretty cute! I used ABC cookie cutters that my
sister gave me for Christmas that I have been dying to use. I dipped the bottom
half of the cookie in the Wiltons chocolate and poured sprinkles them.




For these heart cookies I dipped half of the cookie in the Wiltons chocolate and poured valentine
 sprinkles over them, drizzled a couple with the chocolate and left a couple plain
