 I love shopping the downtown shops in Defiance, Ohio. Today I stopped by Bridal Elegance to review this year's formal wear fashions. This store has such a beautiful variety of gowns, it is definately a must see shop. This is a friendly store where you can take your time and browse without a sales pitch and pressure. The staff is very helpful and knowledgable and the atmosphere is laid back. The wide variety of styles and colors is amazing, there is something for everyone for sure. I was plesantly surprised at the prices too, if you are like me and love a good deal, this is a great place to look. My favorite gown was a markdown for only $79! These are red carpet worthy gowns and dresses that are sure to make you feel like a million bucks!
       I invite you to watch to following video for more information on this review. :)

My FAVORITE Valentine's Day Cookie

I love baking and this is my FAVORITE cookie recipe ever. I actually got this recipe when I was taking home education in my 9th grade class from my teacher Ms. Garvin. I made these for my first boyfriend as a Valentine gift. He loved them.

This recipe is good for anytime or make them for every holiday. Quick, easy and even fun for kids!

I chose to use hearts because Valentine's Day is right around the corner but you can use whatever decorating tips, sprinkles, cutters you want. I wish I could of found valentines heart sprinkles or something, but this is what was avaliable, you know I like to be more creative. :) The ideas with this recipe are ENDLESS. My family and I like these cookies with or without frosting.

Sour Cream Cut-Out Cookies

1 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup sour cream

1 egg

3 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch of salt

Oven at 350 degrees and bake for 6 to 8 minutes

I lined my cookie sheets with tin foil, or use non stick pans or parchment paper.

LET's BAKE!

Step1: Soften the butter by placing in the microwave for 30 seconds, then mix in the remaining ingrediants, except for the flour.

Step 2: Mix in 1 cup at a time of the flour, until all 3 1/2 cups are blended in.

Step 3: Flour your prep area and roll out the dough into 1/4 inch.

Step 4: Cut out your shapes and place on a nonstick bake surface.

I made all different sized hearts and decided I wanted to make some of them sandwich cookies, so I sprinkled some of the tops of the cookies before I placed in the oven, I like a variety of cookie looks.

These cookies don't over expand so whatever shape you cut, is what you are going to get and you can place more on your pan. :) Made 4 cookie sheets of cut outs.

Step 5: Bake at 350 for 6 to 8. Give them a nice tan and they are finished. Let cool, and eat! or add frosting and sprinkles. HAVE FUN with it. <3

This frosting is also great for cakes. This is also from my 9th grade class. I still use it to this day and probably will forever!

<<<Use only half of this recipe if you are baking the above cookie recipe!! or you will have enough for another batch.. hahaha or a full sized cake>>>

White Frosting for Decoracting and Icing

1 1/2 Cup Shortening

splash of Water

1 TB of White Vanilla or Almond

1 TB Lemon Juice

2 Egg Whites

2 lbs (1 bag) powdered sugar

Happy Valentine's Day dolls <3

Stay Glamorous,
