Awkwardly, 4 Years Running, That Has Been My Date For Valentine's Day.

Awkwardly, 4 years running, that has been my date for Valentine's Day.

Having a partner/being in a relationship doesn't necessarily mean we spend all our time together.

Like most holidays, we don't celebrate on the day of but rather the day after. All the Valentine's Day content is on sale, usually up to 70% off. The best time to celebrate is when nobody else is around.

IN MY OPINION.

Happy Valentine’s day everyone!

Homemade Mozzarella Sticks

Paradise Bakery Sugar Cookie

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup powdered sugar

2 cups shortening

¾ tsp. vanilla

1 large egg, beaten

4⅓ cups cake flour

¾ tsp. baking soda

¾ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

plain or colored sugar, for decorating

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, cream together sugars and shortening using an electric mixer. Mix on slow speed 30 seconds, then scrape down the bowl with a spatula. Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.

Slowly add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.

In a separate bowl, combine cake flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing on slow speed until just blended. Do not over mix. Scoop with an ice cream scoop and roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.

Bake 9 to 10 minutes.

Cookies are done when small cracks appear and are pale golden. Ideally, do not let edges brown. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
