The Guavaras celebrate V-Day with lots of sugar and even more love. While we had a beautiful weekend of perfect weather and fun baking, we remembered that Bradley Manning is not having such a great time. As we enjoy our cookies this U.S. citizen is being tortured by being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day.
Does anyone else find it odd that we violate this man's rights in some twisted attempt to prove that we are the biggest hypocrites in the world? Let's just forget about it for now, wipe up our cookie mess with the Bill of Rights and move on to the recipe.
The Guavara Family wishes Pvt. Bradley Manning a Happy Valentine's Day. You are not alone.

I happily swiped this recipe from good ol' Martha Stewart. Here is a link to Martha's Valentine's Cookies.
I used royal icing to decorate.
Our two cents on the recipe is that it was a tiny bit dry and the frosting a little boring. We added some almond flavoring to the icing to jazz it up. Will probably try a different one next time, although sugar cookies are not our faves. It has been so long since I made them, I couldn't find cookie cutters. These are free formed cut with a serrated knife.
