These Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies are thick, soft, and chewy, and loaded with pink and white sprinkles. They're so good and so easy.

This is a recipe that my mother-in-law makes for Valentine's Day. Though these are heart shaped, you could easily make them round. (If you made them egg shaped, you could ice them in different colors for Easter.) They are fairly easy to make, but take a little bit of time because you have to chill the dough and ice them. They taste even better the second day (if you can resist!).

These Chocolate Cut Out Sugar Cookies put a fun spin on the classic cut out sugar cookies. They're super soft, chocolatey, and hold their shape well. Decorate with colorful sanding sugars or with an easy buttercream frosting and sprinkles for a sweet treat to show someone you care.
