Since Valentine’s Day is on Sunday, why not make these soft sugar cookies with the whole family. Baked goods and handmade gifts from the heart are a few of my favorite things! Just be thankful you can’t hear me singing right now! It has more meaning than a card and a box of chocolates that a dozen of other people also received. It is going to be below zero this Valentine’s Day, so we might as well as warm up the house and our hearts at the same time.
