February is a little crazy around here for my family. My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary (16 years woo hoo!), our oldest was born 9 years ago this month and of course we’ve got Valentine’s Day!
I really do try hard to make them their own special event. When it comes to Valentine’s day I typically try to make everything heart shaped! With these yummy cookies, I kept to using heart shaped sprinkles!
There is nothing that some sprinkles can’t
make more festive! I found these tiny micro heart sprinkles at my local grocery store and I’ve been putting them on everything! Plus this bon bon cookies have a little Hershey Kiss surprise in the middle. YUM!
This recipe makes 2 dozen cookies so they are the perfect amount for a class party, share with co-workers or eat some and share the rest with your neighbors.
