Valentine's Cookies

Here are my heart cookies! They were supposed to have decorations, but looks like I ran out of time! At least I got the icing on! I used a different recipe this year. I liked the way the icing hardened up, but I'm not so sure that I like the cookie recipe. Its always real hard for me to tell if a dessert that I make is really good or just ok. I guess that's what happens when you taste often while you are making!!
