Happy Valentine's Day!! and Drop Sugar Cookies

We started out our Valentine's Day with pancakes with pink sprinkles, which the girls loved.  Later after LB went back to bed, we made drop sugar cookies, which were lots of fun, super easy, and really good:

3/4 c sugar
2/3 c veg oil
2 t baking powder
2 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
2 eggs
2 c flour

Preheat oven to 400.  Mix everything but flour in bowl.  Add flour and mix thoroughly.  Drop dough onto baking sheet.  Press dough with glass, dip glass in sugar, press again.  Decorate with sprinkles if desired.  Bake 8-10 minutes.
I let Pnut crack the eggs for the first time ever.
Stirring is hard work...
...especially if you only use one hand!
The red sugar really dyes fingers!
The cookies also passed taste inspection with flying colors!
They passed so well I barely got a picture of this kid before she finished hers!
They really turned out beautifully with nice edges, soft, and not too browned!

So we wish you a very happy Valentine's Day and a year filled with love!




And because we can never have too much of this baby!!:
