Cute Valentine's Cookies.

While it's easy to pick up a box of store-bought cookies, there's something truly special about making your own handmade treats for friends and family. Who wouldn't love to receive a batch of homemade heart-shaped cookies?

Of course, I had to include my own easy Valentine's sandwich cookies. They're made using a classic sugar cookie recipe and a delicious pink strawberry-flavoured buttercream.

But you can't go wrong with some classic thumbprint cookies topped with chocolate hearts or some heart-shaped sugar cookies. I've also included some that are a bit more challenging like clever sunglasses with heart-shaped boiled sweet lenses, decorated conversation hearts and adorable iced love bugs. 

Store your finished cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh or pop them in a homemade gift box and you've got a lovely Valentine's Day gift with a difference. 

Whether you're baking for your significant other, your family, or simply treating yourself, there's something here for everyone to enjoy. So grab your heart-shaped cookie cutter and start baking and make this Valentine's Day extra special!
