Valentine’s Cookies

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2019 by Stefani Dicicco Leave a Comment

Whether you’re celebrating with your gals, pals or your sweetie, Valentine’s Day is here and we are feelin’ the love! We are also admiring all the heart shaped pizzas, chocolates, pancakes and bacon (yes, bacon). All this heart shaped food inspired us to create our very own lovable Valentine’s Day cookie!

Heart Cookie Pan, $4.99 from Target.

Cookie decorating not at it’s finest…

Decorative cookies are certainly not our forte, but we had a fun time putting this together! Our first attempt was not very successful. We won’t bore you with that photo (picture a big chocolate chip cookie blob). We realized we needed a heart shaped pan to avoid spreading. Cue in the Target run!

We found a heart shaped cookie pan at Target and picked up cookie frosting to decorate. We also may or may not have strolled through the clothes, shoes, makeup – D’OH sorry back to cookies! We kept it simple with white and pink frosting, but if you want to try this at home, let your creative juices flow! You can find lots of cake decorating tools at your local grocery store, and if you’re in a rush, pick up ready-to-bake cookie dough! This makes for a great last minute Valentine’s Day dessert.

What will we do for the next holiday?

We were impressed with everyone’s Valentine’s Day themed foods and can’t wait to see what people have in store for upcoming holidays. With Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter in the line-up, we know people will get creative! Stay tuned to see what we come up with 😉

Valentine’s Day Cookie Pairings

February 7, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

You already know that your sweetie has their heart set on some warm cookies this Valentine’s Day but maybe you need some ideas to make your gift extra special. Well, look no further – we’ve got your gift inspiration right here!

Inspo #1: Warm cookies and world-class coffee

We’re fortunate enough to live in a city full of amazing coffee roasters. Take advantage of the local coffee scene and pick up a bag of coffee beans to gift along with those warm, fresh-baked cookies. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from the baristas 😉

Inspo #2: Gourmet cookies and artisanal chocolates

Chocolate and cookies were destined for each other. You can’t go wrong when combining these two Valentine’s Day essentials. Pick up some local chocolates and join them with your sweetheart’s favorite cookies or go all out and get our chocolate dipped cookies. Or do both! You can never have TOO much chocolate.

Inspo #3: Fresh-baked cookies and hand-crafted wine

You can’t get more romantic than cookies and wine, especially if you find the perfect pairing!
Try one of these combos:

  • Lemon Drop cookies + Prosecco
  • Dr Midnight cookies + Zinfandel
  • Peanut Butter cookies (with or without chocolate chips) + Port
  • Oatmeal Raisin cookies + Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Almond Joe cookies + Pinot Noir
