Valentines Day Blossoms Recipe
(Last Updated On: March 7, 2019)
After Christmas it is easy to a case of the blues.
Causes:
- 1. No more presents
- 2. Taking down the Christmas tree.
- 3. Eating the last Peanut Blossom Cookie (the last straw for me).
Treatment:
I like to take my mind off things with some more baking. These pink cookies taste almost like the Christmas classic.
However, the bright pink color makes them perfect for Valentines Day, Bachelorette Parties, and even birthdays.

Looks very cute. I think I’d use a regular or dark chocolate Hershey’s Kiss. My favorite Valentines Day treat is anything dark chocolate. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Great Idea M!
those are really cute!
Thank you Elle!
I love the pop of color from the sugar. I’m not a big sweets eater. I’d say my favorite Valentine day treat would be a Jersey Mike meatball and cheese sub or a beef tenderloin steak.
I like these cookies! They look so delicious! I am a fudgeaholic! I love eating fudge, and I like making it for Valentine’s Day. I like to make fudge and cut it out as hearts and eat!
That sounds adorable. Do you use cookie cutters or how do you do it?
Valentine’s Day stuff already? You’re early! 🙂 These treats look pretty darn good though.
I’m sure my GF would love these if I’d bake them for her for Valentine’s day. Great recipe Krystle!
I’ll need to try this recipe out 🙂
I’ve never tried these before. They sound pretty good. Thanks for the recipe.
