Valentine’s treats
I love Valentine’s Day because I love pink and I love hearts – it’s also a perfect time for sweets. This year I made some old favorites with a twist:
I made my Neapolitan cookies but used TEENY cutters and cut out little hearts. They look so good in the pan but unfortunately they spread like crazy…
They are still cute but it makes me want to use a miniscule cutter next time to see how small I can really get these things.
I also made up some M & M cookies but used the ‘Valentine’s mix’ which means pink, red and white. Cute idea but the M & M’s don’t show up that well. Doesn’t matter, they were still delicious.
Then I made mixed boxes of red velvet cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes. I just love how the white and brown look together with the little hearts.
Who knows if people appreciate all this work, but I had fun making all of it. Now what holiday is up next…?

Oh my, your Neapolitan cookies are the cutest!
Those heart cookies are so cute! The key to the M&M cookies is not to mix them all into the dough and then pop a couple M&Ms on top of the cookie dough after the cookies are on the baking sheet but before baking.
oh yes, we appreciate!!!! 🙂 i loved them all!!!
I would have appreciated all that work if anyone gave me anything like that!!!! So cute.
I REALLY appreciated the yummy cupcakes! One parent even gave me a dirty look and told me I was “spoiled”. That’s okay….Thanks again Jenn!
Hi, I can’t get to the Neapolitan cookies. The link doesn’t take me to the right page. Thanks!
