Chocolate is, as always, a good choice for a Valentine’s Day gift. Heck – it’s pretty much the standard alongside roses or flowers. As things become “standard,” they can get a bit dull and chocolate is no exception; even with the huge variety of chocolate truffles, chocolate bars and assorted chocolate boxes …
Cookie stamps are great little tools, giving all kinds of plain cookies – especially butter cookies or shortbread – a lot of dimension. They also save you a lot of time when it comes to decorating cookies, since all the work is done for you before the cookies get into the oven …
