Happy Valentine's Day!

Tonight I made Sugar Cookies for my Valentine: (Mark's favorite)

Jacob liked them too, he got a special cookie with candies on it.

I used my friend Elizabeth's recipe. She makes the best sugar cookies ever. She gave me her recipe a while ago and it has taken me several attempts to get even close to hers. What I learned: roll the dough out thick and only bake them for about 7 minutes. Divine! For all you faithful blog readers out there, here it is:
