Valentine Cookies are so fun to make and these turn out delicious and super vibrant! Made with cookie mix and jello mix, you can flavor them in so many ways (we chose cherry!). Make sure you try our Valentine Cookie Recipe soon!

I like to serve ours after a fun cheese board lunch and alongside some pink sherbet punch!

Valentine Cookies Ingredients

Sugar cookie mix – I used the Betty Crocker brand bag of sugar cookie mix, but any brand with the same general volume of ingredients should work.

Red jello – We chose cherry for our cookies, but try any flavor you like!

Butter – Salted butter is my preference to offset the intense sweetness of this recipe.  Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature.

Egg – The egg helps bind everything together and give the cookies a little lift.

Powdered sugar – If you’re not icing your cookies, you don’t need powdered sugar.  This is sometimes also referred to as icing sugar or confectioners sugar.

Milk  – My preference is whole milk for a rich flavored icing.  In a pinch you can use any liquid, even water.

Sprinkles – Red, white, pink, heart, round, shimmery, you name it, sprinkles are the best!

How Do You Make Valentine Cookies

First, combine sugar cookie mix and jello packet.

Next, add butter and egg and mix until a dough forms. I like to do this with an electric mixer.

Then, roll into small balls (40 – 45) and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Finally, allow to cool, then ice and top with sprinkles.
