There is nothing like a homemade cookie to share with someone special on Valentine’s Day! I have the perfect recipe to share with you; it is completely fuss free and creates a delicious cookie that is baked with love; and a cake mix! Whip up a batch of these Valentine’s Day crinkle cookies with white chocolate drizzle and share a smile!
The Valentine’s Day holiday itself is often so focused on relationships between couples, or the thereof lack of relationships in a person’s life, that we forget to appreciate the true meaning behind the holiday: spreading love around and reminding the special people in your life how much you care and love them. Whether it be your spouse, boyfriend, parents, children, siblings, pets, etc., everyone deserves a little love!
Crinkle Cookies Recipe Uses A Boxed Cake Mix
I love to make sweets and treats to share, but sometimes, after a long week at work, I don’t want to spend a whole afternoon baking. I have the perfect recipe for times like that. It makes use of a boxed cake mix and only a few other common pantry items. In only about 15 minutes you can have a batch of these ready to enjoy. They taste so good that no one would believe they are so easy to make.
Variations of the Crinkle Cookies
The white chocolate drizzle on top of these cookies really steals the show. It sets the light texture of the cookies off perfectly! While I used a white cake mix with food colour, you could use any flavour of cake mix you desire. Red Velvet works especially well with this recipe for the holiday. I have also used a dark chocolate cake mix in this recipe for a nothing short of decadent result!
Give Cookies As Valentine’s Day Gifts
This upcoming Valentine’s Day, why bother purchasing a regular box of prepackaged chocolates when you can give the untraditional gift of homemade treats and create special memories while making them?
Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that were made from the heart. Or, in this case, baked! These delectable cookies are bound to earn a thumbs up from even the pickiest sweet tooth in your life!
These cookies are perfect for sending to a classroom party, or sharing with coworkers in honour of the special day; but rest assured that these cookies are great year round and also for other holidays such as for Christmas, Mother’s Day, or even Easter! Don’t limit yourself to only making these in February!
