a few days ago I dug out my sugar cookie recipe…

I’d had a conversation with a friend about how great my sugar cookies tasted… I’ve made thousands of them over the years, mainly when the girls were in school… I would produce cookies for their classrooms for each and every holiday that occurred…

she suggested I might like to make some for Valentine‘s Day;-)… and also volunteered to lend me a heart-shaped cookie cutter…

I thought I had one so didn’t take her up on the offer…

on Sunday I decided to make them and discovered that I did not have the appropriate cutter…

I went online, found a few different sized heart templates and made a cardboard heart-shaped template…

then I made the recipe and laughed throughout the whole process because it didn’t seem familiar at all…

it took a while as I used a knife to outline each one, but they came out pretty good…

I’d given away all the food colouring and sprinkles a while ago, thinking I wouldn’t need them…

the cookies look rather plain… but taste delicious…

then I had some fun packaging them up for a few gifts…

and enjoyed some with my kids and BS buddies;-)…
