DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. Cut cookie dough into 24 slices. Shape each into 1 1/2-inch ball. Place each cookie dough ball over one end of a craft stick and press gently to adhere dough to stick. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie, overlapping craft sticks as needed.

2:  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Press 1 heart candy in center of each cookie. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. (Do not pick up cookie pops using sticks until completely cooled.)

3:  Package as desired!

Darlene’s Tips:  You can use wooden skewers at the stems. Just cut off the very pointy end. If giving as a bouquet in a vase, pick up some floral foam and stick a piece in the bottom of the vase to the cookie flowers stand straight. You could cover each individual cookie with a baggie and tie with ribbon. That way each cookie is protected.  You could do this with any flavor cookie dough, even homemade. If you don’t have heart-shaped chocolates, you can use kisses.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Crackers Recipe

a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:
1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust (from a box)
Cinnamon sugar (see tips below for savory crackers)
cooking spray to make the sugar stick
(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Let pie crust stand at room temperature 30 minutes to soften.

2:  Heat oven to 450°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

3:  Unroll pie crust onto cutting board. Using mini (1-inch) heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut pastry into hearts and place on cookie sheet.

4:  Spray hearts lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle pastry with cinnamon sugar.

5:  Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until crackers are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet and cool 5 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Darlene’s Tips:  If you don’t have cinnamon sugar, you can make your own by mixing one part cinnamon to 3 parts sugar, or half and half if you want it more cinnamony. lol  You could even skip the cinnamon and sprinkle with just sugar.  You could brush with melted butter (not margarine) if you want buttery crackers and skip the cooking spray. Want savory crackers? Sprinkle with stuff like italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, chives, or whatever you want.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Valentine’s Day Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookies Recipe

a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:
1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 oz strawberry cream cheese, softened
1 egg

(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

2:  In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, softened cream cheese and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in food color to get desired pink color.

3:  Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured surface. Cut with 2 1/2- to 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. If desired, decorate cookies as desired by pressing assorted sprinkles into dough.

4:  Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Search for stuff you need on Amazon, on  and at !

Darlene’s Tips:  If you can’t find strawberry cream cheese, you can use plain cream cheese. You could add strawberry extract or just leave it plain. Use the image as a guide if you plan on decorating with sprinkles. I love the stitched look by placing jimmies around the edges! You could also decorate by piping frosting on the cookies.
