Your grandson is just adorable! And these cookies? They look and sound delicious. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are having a day of sweet treats and love. Happy Valentine's!
ReplyDelete@Monet - Thanks, we think he's really special too! We're so blessed! Spent so much time preparing to go to the birthday party (his mom did all the work and a great job!), my post was a little late for Valentine's - but do make them when you have time, because they're not only delicious, they're super easy! Hope you and hubby have a Lovely Valentine's!
