\"Cream<\/p>\n

Love. Hearts. Flowers.<\/p>\n

But most of all\u2026chocolate.<\/p>\n

This is why I like Valentines Day. The only reason. Haha, just kidding\u2026our family has a special tradition of giving each other \u201clove notes\u201d and chocolate. We\u2019ll often dress up or at least wear red for a exceptionally delicious family dinner…and that makes it extra special.<\/p>\n

We also have a tradition of making these amazing cookies for Valentine\u2019s day. You should feel very privileged I\u2019m sharing this recipe with you, because it\u2019s my Grandma\u2019s very own recipe\u2026over 70 years old.<\/p>\n

\"Cream<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not necessarily the healthiest cookie in the world, but hey, it\u2019s Valentines! However, for those health nuts who avoid the gluten (which is me\u2026most of the time!) I have a delicious gluten-free version coming up!<\/p>\n

\"Cream<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be able to resist these \u2013 they just melt in your mouth with their half cookie\/half cake texture…<\/p>\n
