today, we made the most adorable valentine's love letter cookies! we used the same heavenly pillowy soft cookie recipe from yesterday's journal post and i've added the ICING RECIPE below! we also used the scalloped cookie cutter that came as part of the message cookie cutters (also this one) box set. the scalloped cutter is probably my favorite as it's so versatile! you can use it for ANY holiday + birthday party and imprint your favorite personalized message!

we not so patiently waited for the icing to harden. it didn't take long, but to a three year old i suppose it was like an eternity! she was SO READY to add those mini confetti hearts to her love letters! haha! so while we waited, we ate some hershey kisses, sang some songs and maybe danced a little too! i tell you, a three year old provides loads of entertainment!!

SO PROUD!

kate was just so so proud of her artwork. she almost reverently held up her first masterpiece with glowing, wondrous eyes! so funny!! i was pretty darn proud too of my terribly imperfect icing skills! and as we decorated, we laughed,  munched on the pillowy soft cookies, sipped on our milk, and just had a BALL!!!

SHOP:

baking sheets (baker's half sheet)
cooling racks
tiny mail box (which i painted pink!)
marquee heart + arrow from hobbylobby
french square drinking glass bottles
striped hot pink + white paper straws
after the icing had hardened, we put two of the LOVE LETTER cookies in our adorable little mailbox and waited for daddy and jack to come home! kate could hardly contain herself - she was so excited to give them their valentine gifts!
