Tomorrow, we will be exchanging valentine's with our homeschool friends. Every year, I have all good intentions to make something cute, and every year I run out of time. Well, this year is different!! I saw a cute valentine card using cookies. Unfortunately, I can't remember which site I saw this on. I can tell you that the cookie recipe came from "I am Momma - Hear Me Roar."
First of all, these cookies are amazing! They are buttery and not too sweet. I rolled them out pretty thin and cooked them a little longer than recommended because I like a crispy cookie. I am sure they would be soft if you rolled them thicker and cooked them less. Also, I am not one to add icing to my cookies, but hey, it's Valentine's Day!
To make the cards, I cute 7 inch squares of paper, and folded the corners in to make an enclosed square. I also have 12 x 1 inch strips and hearts that I cut out of my scraps. I used raised tape dots to hold it all together. Cutting and folding all of the pieces was a little tedious, but putting it all together is quick.
I put the cookie in a baggie, which I put in the square; wrap the 12 inch strip around the square and adhere with a tape dot; and adhere the heart onto the strip with another tape dot.
Annnnd, funny side story. As I am putting the cards together, I hear audrey yelling to help her wash her hands. And this is what I find. . .
That is green food coloring. It is everywhere. She is soaking in the bath tub right now. Most of it is off, but I think she is going to be slightly tinted for a couple days.
Food coloring can't taste good! She even has it in her molars. . . This child keeps me on my toes.

Hey Stephanie! I'm so glad they turned out well and that you liked them! I could eat about ten of them a day, though thankfully I practice a little more self restraint than that :) Happy Valentine's day!
