Aren't they cute?
We were driving around Houston sometime a few weeks ago and I said that I wanted to make Valentine’s Day cookies with royal icing for our friends. I used royal icing for the first time about a year ago, to make these lovely shamrock cookies.
Now let’s be honest. I don’t really care much for Valentine’s Day. It’s pretty superficial and commercialized. However, one of my new resolutions is to stop being quite so devastatingly practical, so Valentine’s Day and I are trying to make friends this year.
Kimberly was amenable to cookie-making, so we set out to Michael’s around noon today to get the goods for cookies and icing and a pretty intense craft project made by her for her boyfriend.
Once again, I used the directions here, from Brown Eyed Baker. Our didn’t turn out quite so beautifully professional looking, but they are kind of adorable and very delicious.
This is all the cookies. I love them.
This is Dakota's special cookie. Probably, just don't ask.
And these are mostly for Kyle, who I must say has a pretty amazing girlfriend.
