I’ll bet that you can’t eat just one. It’s simply not possible!

Recipe: Vanilla Cookies with a Cinnamon Kiss

These are a gorgeous, not-too-sweet cookie. Sparkly with sanding sugar, subtly hot with candy hearts, sweet with vanilla icing. They are like that perfect kiss.

Recipe: Profiteroles with Peppermint-Vanilla Ice Cream

Even though they are surprisingly simple to make, these delicacies will always impress. You can make just the profiteroles in advance, or make and fill them with ice cream, ready to pull from the freezer for last minute guests.

Simple but really delicious in that way that eating Nutella straight out of the jar is. Yum.

This is a great pie to make for a Valentine’s Day dinner, or just because you love someone. It should be named “I Love You Pie”, I think.
