For Valentine’s Day give your someone special heart sugar cookies that are made and decorated with love {and yummy buttercream frosting!}. Your kids can also have fun decorating them for Valentine’s treats. I used my recipe for Old-Fashioned Soft Sugar Cookies for soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies but the Puffy Sugar Cookies are soft and puffy and just as good.
