Valentine’s Red Velvet Mug Cookie Gift

You could even turn this mug cookie into a unique Valentine’s gift too. There are plenty of pretty Valentine’s cups that come into the stores this time of the year, and cheap too. Even those paper party cups would work great.

Imagine how sweet this mug cookie would look in a pretty mug (or cup) wrapped up in iridescent cellophane, tied up with Valentine’s ribbon. You could even make your own corny “I’m Mug About You!” tag and even add a little wooden spoon too.

I’m totally dreaming up Valentine’s gift ideas for you! 😉
