A few years ago, I took my two daughters to a Little Hands cooking class through the Real Canadian Superstore. We learned an easy-to-make and delicious Sugar Cookie recipe that delighted our senses!
For this Valentine's holiday, I'd like to surprise my family with this tasty sensation.

OPTIONAL: Once cooled, frost and decorate. And it's OK for us busy moms to use canned frosting if we don't want to make "royal icing" for our cookies and decorate with sprinkles!
ANOTHER IDEA: Mix red food colouring in with the icing.
Given the cookies are nut-free, they are good to place in a lunchbox for an extra special Valentine's treat!
