The girls and I had some fun this weekend making some festive Valentine’s Day cookies! They are fluffy because they are made with cake mix and a little bit of cream cheese. We used pink food dye to to make them bright pink but I think you could also use a strawberry cake mix and that would yummy too.
We had these peppermint kisses leftover from Christmas that we used, but I think a white chocolate kiss would be best! The girls are wearing the cutest Valentine’s dresses c/o Little English. I love their cotton dresses. They are cute, comfortable and they wash really well. You can shop them here.
