Chewy Red Velvet Cookies topped with a Hershey’s Kiss: Your Favorite Christmas Cookie, all dressed up for Valentine’s Day.
Red Velvet Blossoms

 

My Chocolate Cherry Blossoms were a huge hit with friends/the fam during Christmas. so I wanted to make another version for Valentine’s Day.

Who am I kidding I just don’t want to admit the holidays (and cookie season) are over. Making them red makes them super cute, and appropriate for Valentine’s Day. I used gel food coloring the the intense color. If you don’t have it handy red food coloring will do just fine. You may just end up with Pink Velvet Blossoms, which are super cute too!

Then I’ve got Mint Blossoms to tie you through to Easter. We can make blossoms cookies last all year, who’s with me?

AHA! (Pretty sure that’s the sound of Hershey’s being like we got them good!)
