What comes to mind when you think of gifts for Valentine’s Day? I immediately think of chocolates. Roses and jewelry come to mind, too… But, chocolate is definitely first in line.
In particular, I am reminded of one year in high school when a good friend and I were both single and decided we would be each others Valentines… We bought each other roses and she and I sat in the cafeteria munching on a giant box of chocolates during lunch. I think that may have been the only year where I actually bought chocolates and roses for Valentine’s Day… My hubby isn’t really into flowers. I bet you’re shocked.
Instead of making homemade chocolates this year, I decided to decorate some box of chocolate cookies instead… You know, those heart-shaped boxes that can only be found around Valentine’s Day. It seemed like a fun cookie design to try just for fun (and a good way to use up the rest of my Nutella cutout cookies and royal icing from my heart cookies last week).
While I was at it, I made some small gift box cookies, as well… I imagine the boxes are full of jewelry and other fun gifts… Diamonds, probably!
Plus, my hubby may not be thrilled about getting chocolates and jewelry for Valentine’s Day… But, he’s happy to munch on some cookies!
What gorgeous cookies! I would never have the patience to beautifully decorate cookies like you do.
Like your husband, mine is happy with a Valentine’s treat to eat – homemade baklava for him!
These are amazing! I know how much work cookies like that can be and these are very impressive.
These look absolutely gorgeous, Jen!
W-O-W! Those are fantastic Jen! That detail is remarkable and they look delish as well!
Wow, the level of detail is so impressive! I think your husband is a lucky man to be getting these for Valentine’s Day.
Sigh… And I was so proud of myself for piping almost perfect X and O on 60 or so chocolate cookies (the idea came from Bake at 350 ’cause I am not a baker:). I won’t let my kids see your masterpieces – I need some love and adulation from the fam! But seriously, these are gorgeous.
So cute Jen and so creative! Who needs diamonds and roses when you have a husband who loves to eat your baking!
These cookies are too precious Jen. I love them.
These are adorable Jen – so creative!
SO SO SO CUTE! Fabulous job, Jen.
Cutest cookies I have seen this Valentine’s!
How cute are these, Jen?? I love both designs. Happy Valentine’s Day.
These are SO SO so cute.
LOVE your cookies! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Wow!! You are so creative. I love the riot of red!
Love the chocolate box cookies. They are really inspirational. Thanks to you the ideas are flowing!
These are just perfect! You have such a talent – I was in the kitchen for 5 hours making cookies for my kids to give their classmates – they just each had a heart and their name and it took me 5 hours lol! I can not imagine how you do it! Too cool!
Oh, Jen! These are darling!!!
These cookies are SOOO cute! Your husband is one lucky man ;) Happy Valentine’s Day!
Absolutely adorable, Jen! Your cookies are just beautiful. I’m so glad to have found your blog! :)
These are fantastic! I would love these over a box of chocolates any day. Lovely!
Very Cute. Happy valentines.
Yep, chocolates are the way to go. But, having them ON sugar cookies is just as nice for me! These are probably the cutest and most creative Valentines treat I’ve seen this year!
Wow. What incredible photos and cookies.
Beautiful, amazing, stunning.. Great JOB!!!!
