Valentine’s Day involves many of my favorite colors. I love the feminine touches of pink, red and purple within Valentine décor and baked goods.

The month of February tends to get really busy for me. I have lots to catch up on post-holiday celebrations. I like to whip up recipes that are convenient to make and that are also budget-friendly. I’m all about simplicity when I pack lunches and prepare dinner. There’s so much on my mind during this time of the year.

It doesn’t stop me from going all out on V-day, though.

We love spending Valentine’s Day as a family. Of course, my husband and I always try to have a date for ourselves, but my kids love the celebrations as well.

I’m usually accustomed to making cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. This year, I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I whipped up these Blush Rose Valentine Crinkle Cookies. Crinkle cookies are always so popular during the holiday season. I figured with the right color and the right presentation, they’d be perfect for a romantic celebration as well.

Blush Rose Valentine Crinkle Cookies

1 box white cake mix
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 eggs
Red food coloring (I used gel because it’s so saturated – you only need a drop or two to get the beautiful pink shade)
Granulated sugar for coating (about 3 tablespoons worth)
Powdered sugar for coating (about 5 to 6 tablespoons worth)

Yields: approximately 18 cookies

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs. Whisk together until you get a dough-y consistency. Add red food coloring and mix until you obtain desired shade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Remove from refrigerator. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll into one-inch balls and coat with a thin layer of granulated sugar. Once completely covered, coat generously with the powdered sugar. The first layer of granulated sugar will keep the powdered sugar from baking into the cookie. Place on lined cookie sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart from each other.

In an oven set to 350 degrees F, bake for 9 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
