During the month of February, I picked three Pinterest inspired Valentine’s Day cookie recipes to bake. I absolutely love baking, decorating and the “homemade” look of the final result. Cookies are a sweet staple in my home and these love themed sugar cookies stole my heart! I used the same sugar cookie dough found in the first recipe for all three bakes.
Baking cookie dough in bulk is a game changer and a time saver. If you like to enjoy hot and fresh cookies or creations only bake what you will eat and make a fresh batch every time!

Friday Bake Day #1
These inspiration watercolor cookies are so cool. My watercolor cookies… turned out…. I hadn’t tried this technique before and had a great time mixing colors and painting, yes painting right onto the cookie frosting. Rather than use a small paintbrush I went for an alternative and painted my cookies with handy dandy Q-tips!

Friday Bake Day #2
These smooth and solid frosted sugar cookie hearts were a must have inspiration. I love a bold look and these Valentine’s Day color themed sweets are all that and a bag of heart treats! I used 3 gel food colors and as you can see my mixing skills are a bit wonky, but I still love this look! This color pallet is called “V Sweet Evening” in honor of their moody color result.

Friday Bake Day #3
These color splattered sweets are THE definition of “play with your food”. I used 2 water food colors and created a moody color pallet once again. To create the splatter effect, I used a good ol’ straw! To trap the color in the straw dip one end into the water then place and hold a finger on the other end. I took the end holding the water and tapped it letting the watercolor fly, this part is fun and can be messy!
