    Both of my guys are chocolate mint lovers in any way shape or form. So for my husband's birthday (known in the rest of the world as Valentine's Day), I whipped up these lovely cookies.

    They disappeared in minutes. Well, the plate of cookies disappeared when I turned my back. I quickly tracked down the plate they snuck out of the kitchen so I could have a few for the photoshoot. #foodbloggerproblems

    Decorate Cookies for Any Holiday

    I went with cute little x's and o's for Valentine's Day.

    But feel free to mix them up by using sprinkles to fit the occasion. Like these fun ones from one of my favorite sprinkle shops Sweets and Treats. They have the cutest sprinkles plus cupcake liners, cakesicle and candy molds and so much more.
