I found this chocolate sugar cookie recipe on Flour Child's baking blog. I wanted to make these for the Superbowl but I couldn't find a single football cookie cutter :(. Anyway here is Flour Child's recipe for chocolate sugar cookies:

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 375.

To Make The Cookies:

First beat the butter, sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla together.

Then beat in the baking soda and flour.

Once all of the ingredients have been combined you can begin to roll out the dough,

dust your work surface with flour so that the dough doesn't stick or rip.

Use any cookie cutter to shape your cookies before placing them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool then enjoy! :)

Valentine Treats

Hey everyone, sorry for not updating lately but school and work are keeping me crazy busy. But since I haven't made anything recently here are more bakespirational cookies for you to try. Hopefully I'll get to try these out too! :)

Obviously I LOVE Valentine's Day :), and I love the adorable treats people have made for it. These mini cakes are from Wilton's website. These little mini cakes are made with sugar sheets and if you've read some of my previous posts you know I am NOT a fan of those. I am also not a big fan of cutting the little cakes out of a sheet cake, it takes a lot of time and wastes a lot of cake (unless you make cake pops too). So when I make these I am going to go cake pop style for the entire mini cake! Instead of using the sugar sheets I am going to use a thin piece of fondant for the top hearts, as far as the sides go I'll play it by ear and get back to you.

If you are single and celebrating Valentine's Day with your best friend then lucky you because you have a reason to make this adorable cookie...

This is another cute idea from Wilton. Good luck with the writing, pretty fonts are not my forte :x.

Hopefully I can make something soon for you guys :)!
