Happy Valentine's Day!

It's a day early, but I won't be able to be blog tomorrow, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish everyone a Very Happy Valentine's Day.

For Valentine's, the kids wanted to make sugar cookies with icing, but the thought of doing all that work just tired me out. (Ever had that feeling?) So, we 'made-do' with this instead. Not that anyone in this household complained, mind you, these cookies won't last til Valentine's.

I leave you with one of my favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe.
You chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 mins, in order to roll out easily.
That way you can use your cookie cutters and go nuts.
