Valentine's Cookies

When I was growing up, my mom would bake us valentine sugar cookies every year. They were gigantic, and I remember it taking us a few days to get through our cookie. I wanted to continue the tradition with my own kids, but on a smaller scale. I made these for my daughter and her daycare buddies. The recipe is awesome - they are light and not too sugary. The icing is tinted with raspberries instead of food colouring and it provides a nice element with the flecks of raspberry - YUM!
