33 Easy Valentine's Day Cookies For the Sweetest Holiday Ever

Most people associate Valentine's Day with gourmet boxes of chocolates or sugary sweet Conversation Hearts, but there is an entirely other area of Valentine's Day snacks and recipes that we should be paying attention to. Perhaps not as exciting as Christmas cookies or as whimsical as Halloween-themed baked goods, Valentine's Day desserts and, more specifically, cookies are entirely underrated — and delicious. Because, let's face it, Valentine's Day cookies can be just about anything. Cut the cookies out with a heart shape cookie cutter or add some pink and white icing to make it more appropriate for the Valentine's Day holiday. Even if the dessert isn't a shade of white, pink, or red, just the fact that it's a sweet treat makes it perfect for Valentine's Day.

The holiday is all about spoiling those we love, too, so what better excuse to bake the most decadent, delicious sweet treats (and yes, that includes cookies) that we can dream up? Whether you're baking a special batch for your significant other, or you're making something for your child to bring with them for their Valentine's Day class party, the following cookie recipes are sure to be crowdpleasers. From sugar cookies to chocolate-filled varieites, here are 33 cookie recipes that are perfect for Valentine's Day.
