Valentine Cookies

About This Recipe


Meet the Cota family. I have had the absolute pleasure of working with this beautiful family for a number of years. They have now grown to include three adorable little ones that love to help their mom with baking. The family’s philosophy is that the more hands in the flour …. the better.


Mom, Deb Cota, shared:

“In our family we believe strongly in celebrating the holidays and making memories, especially when it involves the kitchen. Nothing is ever picture perfect, and it is always messy. However while I tend to see the mess and chaos, consistently the children see the holiday magic and special memory for the season. From our kitchen to yours Happy Valentines Day.”


Thank you to Jon, Deb, Charlie, Henry, and Caroline. What a beautiful sentiment. Let us all remember, it is better to truly live in the moment. Those dirty dishes can wait. There are cookies to be made and frosting spoons to be licked.
