VALENTINE’S DAY BARS AND BROWNIES RECIPES

The BEST Brookies
These are truly the best brookies you will ever make! The brownie and cookie layers were tested to bake completely even so each bite as just the right amount of both. They also have a soft and fudgy texture from edge to center and are sliced into large squares, making them absolutely bakery-worthy!
Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars
These raspberry lemon cheesecake bars are a combination of fresh raspberries, lemon bars, and cheesecake! They’re baked with a buttery shortbread crust, creamy lemon cheesecake, and a layer of raspberry lemon filling on top. Top with a dusting of powdered sugar and these bars taste just like pink lemonade!
VALENTINE’S DAY COOKIE RECIPES

Classic Cut Out Sugar Cookies
This is going to be your new go-to sugar cookie recipe. These cut out cookies hold their shape when baked, but still remain soft and tender.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These double chocolate chip cookies are SO good you could sell them in a bakery! The center is incredibly fudgy – closer to a brownie than an cookie – with melty bits of chocolate throughout. They’re so impressive and each bite will leave you wanting more.
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
Buttery cookies baked with a puddle of strawberry jam and topped with a dollop of cheesecake
Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies
These soft frosted sugar cookies are WAY better than Lofthouse! Made with a combination of butter and oil, the cookies are super tender and soft throughout. They’re then topped with a smooth vanilla butter cream and, of course, sprinkles!
VALENTINE’S DAY CAKE RECIPES

Chocolate Sheet Cake
This is hands down the best chocolate sheet cake recipe! It was tested over and over again to get just the right level of moisture and softness. Not to mention the chocolate pudding frosting! Yes, you can use PUDDING instead of buttercream. It’s even better because it stays soft and creamy even after it’s chilled. You’ll never go back to regular frosting after this.
