Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky – Spice It Up (Valentine’s Cookies)

Posted on the 16 February 2013 by Meltingmoments

Hi lovelies,

Hope you’re having a sweet weekend. :)

From Thursday:
I’m feeling the love here on Valentine’s Day after receiving a lovely gift from my hubby. So, I decided to make him a sweet and spicy treat, Sugar and Spice Cookies.

The cookies I baked are a nice twist on the traditional sugar cookies. They are not low sugar or butter but they sure taste nice, especially with the addition of the spices.
