Happy Huggy-Huggy-Kissy-Smoochy-Lovey-Goopy-Snuggle-Mushy-Gushy Day.
*wretch*
anyway… i’m REALLY here to give you a cookie recipe…
Egg and Dairy Free Lemon Sugar Cookies
adapted from this recipe on allrecipes
makes about three dozen 2″ heart cut outs (YMMV)
Ingredients:
10 TB softened vegetarian margarine
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar (replace all the sugar with 3/4 raw sugar if desired)
1 1/2 TB flax meal
1/4 c warm water
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp lemon extract
2 c AP flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c 10x sugar
3-4 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions:
1. Place flax meal in the warm water and let it sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Cream margarine and sugar together. Beat in the flax mixture, lemon zest, and lemon extract.
3. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then stir into the wet ingredients. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough out on parchment paper (it helps to sandwich the dough between two sheets) and cut out desired shapes.
5. Place shapes 1″ apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake 6-8 minutes.
6. Cool completely. Then drizzle with icing made from 1 c 10x sugar and a few teaspoons of lemon juice.
enjoy! possibly with your Poopsie-Moopsie-Boo-Boo-Bear?? bleah.

Valentine’s Day is total crap. BUT a great excuse to bake these. Yum. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Your frosting is way nicer looking than mine. I dumped it on so I could chow down faster!
That face that your Poopsie-Moopsie-Boo-Boo-Bear Is doing is SO Gherkin-esque.

Well the cookies look much better than the no bake low carb cheesecake I made for my pookie bears. But despite the yucky appearance the taste was just fine. Now I am off to try and see if I can modify your recipe to low carb. Jennyt

I know you are sappy inside. All I have to do is play “Goodnight My Angel” by Billy Joel and you melt into a teary puddle.
Nice try though!! *wink*

BAH! apparently all i need is a barbershop quartet singing “i love you truly” to a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and i’m crying in a starbucks….
i just dont appreciate the commercialized sap of this particular “holiday”, that’s all.
9. hello jamie: | February 16, 2008 at 7:54 am
it’s not a holiday.
Btw, what exactly is vegetarian margarine? Is that even food?
10. krysten | February 16, 2008 at 3:24 pm
yes, hence my quotation marks.
sure it is! it’s not made with any whey like most margarine is, it’s purely vegetable oils.

Wow, those look great!
