Love Cookies

I love making cookies at home, and for this time i decided to make a valentine day themed cookies....!! :)

Love cookies are really crisp and crumbly,a bit chewy at center.These are simple butter cookies with a candy glass center.

i admit that i struggled a lot to find red colored hard boiled sugar candies...but nothing is impossible..i finally found some red lollipops.. :P

These little adorable cookies would make a lovely gift for your special someone this v-day..! ;)

so are you ready to jump into the ocean of love this valentine season..?? :D
