I made over 100 of these yummy cookies for our RS night last week...and I must say, they turned out quite tasty, and cute! I got the recipe off of a blog I follow called
Blue Cricket Design. I used strawberry, vanilla and chocolate frosting...to please everyone's taste buds! The recipe doesn't say how many cookies it will yield, but just as an FYI, I used about a 2 1/2 inch wide cookie cutter, and I did 2 batches of dough, which resulted in at least 9 or 10 dozen cookies. And as you can see, they are THICK...so if you rolled the dough even thinner, you could get more cookies out of it. However, I personally like the thick cake-like sugar cookies, so if they were thinner, it just wouldn't be the same!
Drew was eager to help eat up the remaining pink frosting...and I couldn't resist snapping a few pics of him in the process...i just can't get enough of this kid!!!
and last but definitely not least, jakob's valentines...i had fun trying to imitate an idea i saw on one of the forums i subscribe to...i think they turned out really cool! he said all of his friends loved them... not sure if i'll EVER top this one!

Those Valentine cards are awesome! Where did you get them done?
I think we might try homemade Valentine's next year. I saw a really cute one on a blog I follow. Those cookies look amazing! Glad your RS night went well. Barbara T did a great job at ours. :)
Oh my heck! A MAZ ING! I love them. You definitely will be hard pressed to beat those next year. Those would make an awesome birthday invite too.
Jen - I made them in photoshop, and then had them printed at Wal-mart -- including the pixi sticks it cost about $5!
Great Valentine's cards, how fun!!
OMG, Love the cards... just don't ever show them to Evan!
LOVE the valentines!
That might just be the perfect boy valentine. Amazing job and who can beat that price tag? Way to go Mommy!
