In our house February is a busy month. It is birthday season! About three-quarters of the family celebrates their birthdays in February. So Valentine's Day often gets over looked. This year, my contribution to the day was making cookies!
I used the Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies Recipe from On Sutton Place. They turned out really good. Right out of the oven warm, they were like eating a warm brownie, once cooled they are more cookie like.
A word of caution; it is really hard to tell when these cookies are done! The recipe says to bake for 6 minutes and that was right on. I just wish I would have set a timer! As the second batch was in a bit too long and ended up very crispy and crunchy.
I did change the recipe to make it dairy free by substituting canola oil and coconut oil for the butter. I also skipped the dipping in melted chocolate and made a simple chocolate glaze. Just enough to make the sprinkles stick! Aren't the little hearts fun? (It will probably take me years to use them all up!)
It has been a long time since I rolled out my favorite vintage Valentine. For the month of February, his home is on my dressing table mirror.
Happy Valentines Day Friends!
Happy Valentines Day Friends!
Those cookies look delicious and the vintage card really did make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am glad my little wooly friend brightened your day! Those vintage Valentine's are always so sweet. I am trying to restrain myself and not start a collection!
DeleteAren't those the cutest!! I must tell you about the cream of tartar cookies, that I wouldn't roll them in sugar another time. But these heart cookies look delicious! I'm hoping I can avoid making them at least for a while. LOL
