Kids in the Kitchen: Valentine’s Cookies

**Full Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

Valentine’s Day is this weekend. Can you believe it?!

The boys have requested that I refrain from posting their pictures but that doesn’t mean Kids in the Kitchen is gone! I’ll still be sharing our fun but there won’t be pictures of my kids.

Last weekend, Colin and I got creative and made {incredibly easy} Valentine’s Cookies with a few ingredients we found at Target.

Supplies:

• Strawberry Wafers
• Chocolate chips
• Sprinkles

Directions for Valentine’s Cookies:

1. Heat chocolate chips in a microwave-safe coffee mug, 30 seconds at a time, until smooth.
2. Lay a piece of wax paper on a flat surface.
3. Dip a wafer cookie in the chocolate.
4. Place it on the wax paper.
5. Add sprinkles.
6. Repeat until finished.
7. Let the chocolate set.
8. Enjoy!

After he ate a few, Colin wrapped the leftovers in a baggie and gave them to his teacher. She said they were delicious!

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
