HOW TO MAKE Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies
HOW TO DECORATE
Storing
STORE the baked cookies unfrosted or frosted. Unfrosted cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Frost the heart shaped cookies with any color Use other cookie cutter shapes and frost with pink or red. Adding “valentine” sprinkles or writing on loving words will help give the cookies a Valentine’s feel.
How to store frosted cookies? If you have frosted the cookies the storage times are the same you just need to be more careful about stacking the cookies. Make sure that the frosting has set and that you put parchment paper in between layers. Recipe Video Recipe Video
