Notes
We've topped the sugar cookies with chocolate hearts, but if you want, you can also use chocolate kisses as a topping.You can try out a ton of different ways of decorating these Valentines day cookies. You can top the cooled down cookies with some royal icing and then top it with some cute pink candies of your choices.Another great idea is to spread some melted chocolate or royal icing between two individual cookies and turn it into sandwich cookies.
