Every Valentine’s day growing up, we would make these cookies by the hundreds and take them to all our neighbors. I’ve continued the tradition with my family. I’ve modified the frosting a bit from when I was little. Yesterday (because today is Saturday) we went visiting and dropping off our cookies. We started at Doug's work where the girls were a big hit! His office looks forward to their valentines day visit every year!Christie's Family Valentines Day
