heart strawberry cookies

I saw these fun cookies on Pinterest and made them last weekend just because I thought they were so cute for Valentine's Day. I might not have worked hard enough on making them heart shaped though because they didn't turn out in great heart shapes but if you don't have a little one running around at your feet you might have more luck making cuter hearts. Regardless, they still tasted really yummy... and they're pink :) I'm making them again today for a big cookie giveaway they're doing at our church. The Crossing will be delivering 1,500 cookies to different outreach organizations around the community for valentines day :) so awesome. I love to bake things for people and pray for them as I bake... I have visions of doing this with my kiddos when they get a little older. praying these sweet pink cookies bless someone this week. maybe you might want to make them and give them away to someone in your community too? just a thought. happy weekend.
