Valentine Heart Cookies for Creative Cookie Exchange

Valentine Heart Cookies for Creative Cookie Exchange

I am here today with Creative Cookie Exchange and we are doing Valentine’s Day theme this month as it is soon approaching. Our theme is Red or Pink for Valentine’s Day.

I decided to do little pinkish-red Valentine Heart Cookies to share with you today.

I made these delightful cookies after I had received some of the amazing Gay Lea Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Spreadable. Don’t you love this on toast for the morning, so I decided to sandwich it between two sugar cookies.

So easy and so good. No need to make the icing. They are a sure hit with this wonderfully sweet and cinnamon-flavored butter in between.

The sugar cookies are great on their own too!! So cute and perfect for your Valentine!!
