In case you hadn’t noticed, The Liv Northgate Blog is excited about Valentine’s Day, coming up this week! And what says it’s Valentine’s Day more than heart-shaped everything. One of quintessential images of Valentine’s Day is the heart-shaped, decorated sugar cookie, so we found a recipe to share from Allrecipes.com. This recipe creates a moist, tender sugar cookie. The submitter of the recipe says, “Rich and delicious cut-out cookies - wonderful for special holiday celebrations! These are the best cut-out cookies the long line of bakers in our family has ever found.”
