Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope you have some amazing plans today!
Whether it is going out to a romantic dinner with your husband/boyfriend, or staying home and baking up some cupcakes or cookies with your kids, I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Last night, I whipped up a batch of these super easy Frosted Strawberry Cookie Bars with my kids. These have such a great strawberry flavor and they are so fun and easy to make.
And these strawberry cookie bars are perfect for this time of year because not only are they obviously great and pretty for Valentine’s Day, they are also perfect for spring. Which I swear is coming soon (or so I keep reminding myself even though it is bitter cold and windy today).
These would also be pretty little treats for Mother’s Day, and any day really that you just want a sweet, tasty little treat!
So enjoy this fun Valentine’s Day. And make up a batch of these pretty little Frosted Strawberry Cookie Bars!

I LOVE the color on these beauties, Renee! Do you think I’d be pushing it if I made these and “accidentally” ate all of them before any one else knew about ’em?!
