Notes
Don't let the number of steps stop you from making these cookies. It's just broken down into simple steps for you!
I put the process pictures in this Valentine cookie recipe.
It had quite a few steps and I wanted you to see the photos within it.
I did this in hopes you saw that the recipe was indeed easy to make. It does make the printout of the recipe longer.
Don’t forget about my other Mickey Mouse Valentine Cookies. They are just as simple to make and honestly, delicious!
