Do you love sugar cookies? These are a spin off of my Pumpkin Sugar Cookies I made for Fall this year, but we some natural red dye for this holiday full of love. These Valentine’s Day ‘sugar’ cookies are gluten free, paleo and vegan, and are perfect for the one you love! I made a pink batch, too, by using less of the natural red dye (which you can find here). You could also use dried strawberries to dye your cookies pink, just by buzzing them in the food processor for a few minutes! Kids will have a lot of fun with these, chose any cookie cutter you please, dye or no dye, and they’ll have fun getting involved in the kitchen!
