Valentine’s Day is almost here, and that means it’s a perfect time to treat your loved one with something special! A special gift usually is one that you make yourself… something that you make with love and care – like homemade food. Home cooking, made from scratch, no doubt is always the best. The kitchen is my favorite place in the house, and the place where I can be found most often. It’s the special place where is good food being created, and I get tons of pleasure from mixing, stirring, whisking, etc. Honestly, I can do it for hours. On the other hand, I can often appreciate the quick, easy, and satisfying recipes. If there is an option to combine delicious food with fast and easy, why not do it?

Today I’m sharing with you my recent baking discovery… a delicious cookie mix by Mason Jar Cookie Company. In just a few simple steps, it is easy to whip up a batch of irresistibly yummy cookies. I have recently tried their Valentine’s Day traditional cookie mix with pink, red and white hearts sprinkles and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The finished cookies look great (look below to see for yourself :-)), and they take only minutes to make. But most importantly, they taste just like homemade cookies right out of the oven. If you’re still looking for a nice gift choice for Valentine’s Day – for something special with a personal touch – this could be it!
