    Can I just saw how freaking cute are these cookies?! I love pink and red and hearts and Valentines Day it is the cutest holiday ever! I used to get in trouble at work for drawing hearts everywhere. I couldn't help myself! They make everything look so fun and happy and cute! So when Valentines Day rolls around I can put as many hearts in as much pink and red writing as I want!

    So when I dreamed these cookies up in my head they were so cute, but then when I made them I was in LOVE! And the flavors of red velvet and strawberry mixed together with chocolate drizzled on top and sprinkles?! I died and went to obnoxious cookie heaven.

    These were just the cookies to break me out of my baking dry spell. With crazy work schedules, the flu (the California flu that has been absolutely dreadful, I might add), a blog conference and everything else in between it's been a couple weeks since I've made some magic in the kitchen.

      I think now that I have to agree with most of the men that say Vday is a woman's holiday. I figured out why... because we go crazy with all the pink and red... and frilly hearts, etc! That's why I love these cookies... the colors, the swirl action, the sprinkles. It's got everything I love going on!
      PS... your pictures rock!

      Obnoxious cookies yearround, yes please! Dude, you must have been inspired at Disney with our food binges because these are SO CUTE. I am in love with all of the in-yo-face red & pink and hearts happening. And who hates on heart doodles? Heartless people, THAT'S WHO. Now let's ride Space Mountain again.
