Valentines Heart Cookies

Better late then never they say... so here are my version of Valentine cookies.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! I made my boyfriend some tasty heart cookies, and you should definitely try these out for any occasion.  They are a simple yet scrumptious treat. I cut them into heart shapes but you could cut them into any shape you want. The dough is a simple sugar cookie, and you can decorate them as you wish.  A great way to get children involved is to get them to help you out with the decorating! 

"I Love You' Vanilla Cookies:

4. On a floured surface roll out the dough. Using cookie cutters cut out the dough into desired shapes. Place on cookie sheets and bake for 15-20 minutes.
