Valentine's Chocolate Love Cookies

 

I have always loved baking and trying new recipes but now with my new Kitchen aid Stand Mixer that I got for Christmas I just want to bake all the time! That means you can be expecting a new recipe at least once a week for a while. It just makes me so happy and makes baking even more fun now that majority of the hard work is done for me. Well with Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought it was time to get my family in the spirit too by making them these Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies. I thought that Valentine's Chocolate Love Cookies would be a wonderful name for these cookies since they are packed with lots of chocolate! They would be an excellent treat for that special Valentine in your life!

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
